    Thanks, Nik.

    Anyone prefer this one? I forgot my favorite hobby in the first.

    Like the 2nd one. I think it could have been improved greatly..... had you used a Canon. eek7.gifrolleyes1.gif:D **just kiddin'...I own some Nikon stuff**.


    Nice shot(s). I've seen this "film strip" idea beat to death, unfortunately.

    :deadhorse

    The work is solid. Just might like to see a little more of an "unusual" twist to the image/idea. Perhaps the film is partially coiled/rolled (although I've seen that on rare occassion). What about a film loop over one frame enlarging it a little bigger than the others? (enlargin your favorite image of the bunch) Perhaps a couple different color/exposure/effects ..treatments on different frames? Just tossing out ideas. Nothing wrong with the shot...and do kind of like it. Just see this a lot.
    Good luck

    Mike,

    Thanks for looking. But 8 dead horses??:cry Self portraits are tough. I thought this would be an interesting way to convey my many interests (surgeon, wine lover, photographer, tennis player, etc..). If the film strip has been overdone, I guess I'll have to go back to the drawing board.

    I like the film effect and overall I think you did a great job on a really difficult challenge. How are you liking the D2X?

    You can't believe everything you read?ne_nau.gif That was just my feeling. I didn't mean to discourage you. It's a good shot. Doesn't mean you shouldn't enter it. I just have seen many "film strip" portraits in my day. I thought perhaps a little more creative spin to it...than just the different poses. That part of it is good. Just looking for something to set it apart from the "usual suspects". thumb.gif

    Regarding the horses.... my finger got stuck on the mouse button. :uhoh

    Well, I guess I have led a sheltered life, but I haven't seen the film strip used to the tune of 8 dead horses. No doubt it has been done but, for what it is worth, I like your use of it and the way that your photos show different facets of your life and interests. clap.gifclap.gif I notice that you are smiling in only one of the photos though. A serious, guy, are you? rolleyes1.gif

    Eric, thanks for your comments. I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the D2X. This camera is truly a work of art. After only 100 pics, I'm very comfortable with it.


    Flyinggina, thanks for your kind words. Actually I am smiling behind the surgical mask. Surgeons are always happy when we operate!:):

    Mike, Once again, 8 dead horses??? Fix that sticky finger!eek7.gifeek7.gifeek7.gif

    Hey Mitch, I like the second set a little better than the first. Good execution of a good idea.
