Hi! I am new to this community, and just wanted some feedback on my work. Here is one of the portraits I recently created. Thanks, and you can view my website for more example
I see in your statement that you are scanning negatives. So you are missing half of fun . Get a darkroom and make some silver gelatin prints - you will not regret it .
I agree with darkosaric. Your portrait work is very interesting, and I like the one with eyes closed as well. These images, with their dramatic play of light and shadow would look awesome on silver paper. Give it a try if you can.
