Self Portrait #2

Self Portrait #2

Part of a series of self portraits that is starting to take shape although there is still an uncomfortable nature to doing self portraits for me. My wife is claiming ownership/authorship of the picture due to taking the darkslide out and the lenscap off while counting to 13! Hard to find good help.

This is great Monty. Love that hat.

Remember: The self portrait is OF you not FOR you.

Hope this helps.
 
Looks great Monty! Love the background, the black corner at the top and the angle/positioning of the cross. Nice work. Might be better luck to round those 13 second exposures up to 14....
 
Nice Monty, my compliments to your wife... :smile:
I always say 'listen to your wife, with the profoundest of all profound listening skills you posses, or you will be sorry you didn't'. Just hand it over, man.
With that said, awesome shot. Feels natural.
