Self Portrait~C&C welcomed~

I've done several SP's this past year, and found I like it. This is my first post of a SP~

    Interesting take on SP:-) mwink.gif
    I like the lighting and treatment! thumb.gif
    Cropwise I find it unsettling. ne_nau.gif I feel that it needs either more or less on both top and bottom, but I cannot place my finger on it without seeing the noncropped version... headscratch.gif

    Maybe just slightly less on the bottom. I get the sense that the knees are being hacked. I like the pose and the framing otherwise. Also like the expression.

    Thanks Nik! I think the non-cropped version ran up to my forehead and down just below the knee....and Caroline has a valid point~

    And thanks a million on the light comment...that for me is the highest Compliment!~

    Thanks for chiming in Caroline. I did a recrop of the copy I presently have
    (having dumped the original):

    I think you were right, there was something weird about the crop. Balance, always trying to bring balance~

    And I also want to thank you both for chiming in because I have have been hesitant to post my SP nudes due to a multitude of reasons (albeit normal).

    Thanks for the critiques!

    It is a great picture, the crop is interesting and the lighting is great. It will be nice in a few years to have such a lovely photo of yourself. I think as long as you're willing to pose why not try some bodyscapes.

    I agree with the comments about the knees, but I think the image works well. As one hairy man to another, I applaud your self portrait
    Please Look At My Photography!

    Thanks...not at all easy to accomplish, but fun!

    Bodyscapes...oh man...I'd rather be behind the lens for those! I'd probably look like a chicken dancing~

    I did do some other types of poses, that well pleased me. But hesitant to post them..perhaps in time~
