Jet: the whole concept of not including the eyes in frame can be very intriguing, and very difficult to do well.

Beautifully designed and executed image.

Self-Portrait THURSDAY boys!

@Leo: That's a little freaky. Not someone you know, I hope?

@dongoroz: Sort of a Tim McGraw if he played an Alpha instead of a guitar.

And that particular mask won't give you any super powers, so take your hands from her throat - there's no gain from strangling her to steal it

Since I don't have time to take a new photo today, here is an outtake from 2 weeks ago. This is the angry hungry version...

Sony A900 + Carl Zeiss Jena 80mm F2.8 Biometar (Pentacon Six mount with T/S adapter) | f/3.2 | 1/125 sec | ISO 200

Just noticed this fun series last week and had lots of fun going through the images. Maffe, Jakuli, Bob j, Brian, rovhazman and Islam - hope I can play like you do.

My first entry got me more complicated than is legally allowed.

On the bottom right is a portrait my daughter painted of me and her when she was 14 or 16. My face is reflected of a drawing I made when I was 14…. (top left was done by my father many years before he got married).

a55, 50mm f/2.8 and first attempt to use a wireless controlled flash… learning all the time.
