So... started playing around with low key. Would appreciate some critique on my first attempt.

    I like the setting and all but the light seems to have a blue/gray ting to it, maybe it's my monitor.

    If I post it, please tell me how to make it better. My fragile ego can take it.

    Thanks guys. Seemed ok to me... but for some reason I always end up on the "cool" side of things. I'll take a swipe at the white balance when I get home tonight and see what that does.

    So, I did a smug mug tweak... Is this better?

    Definitely lost the blue tint. A visually strong image......excellent lighting, I think.

    Didn't originally think I would actually enter a self portrait for this challenge... but it's so rare that I take photos of myself that I'm leaning that way since the one came out well. So now my question is... go with the original or switch with this new one?

    He he he ... never mind... after I really looked at them side by side, the choice was obvious. Not very often I actually like a picture of myself. Laughing.gif
