alot of people get annoyed about the hairs on the left, but i think it makes the photo for some reason.

Hi Pixy, its a nice picture .. well done cos self potraits arnt easy.. the focus is great and shallow DOF works well..

The only hair that bothers me is the one running accross your brow..

[oldgit]

novel perspective and rather well done on the conversion too

hi pixy, welcome to the forums:wave:

i like the pic, the only hairs i think dont work is the ones that go past your eyebrow.

[Betty]

What big beautiful eyes you have! :)

I dont like the hairs, but thats just my opinion, otherwise :thumbs:

[EdinburghGary]

Very nice eyes!!! Cracker.

[Duckydoodle]

[pixy]

Thankyou :D

What big beautiful eyes you have! :)


I was supposed to be behaving around you wasn't I but you'll always be little red ridding hood to me now. ;):D

They are big beautiful eyes though aren't they. I don't get excited about the idea of photographing people very often but I would so love to photograph that face.

Would be tougher than tough old leather to beat that shot though. I like it. :)

Agree slightly about the hair across the face but even those do not detract from those eyes!

Really powerful shot!

craking eyes and awesome focus point.
you have done very well with that shallow depth of field to get the focal point spot on

[ryanuk]

Thankyou :D

I love this shot. I know it sounds daft but i'm sitting here looking at the picture waiting for you to move in it. Fantastic capture of some stunning eyes.

[cwinhall]

very striking eyes - and eye contact with camera - that make the photo jump out.

I'm one of the petty ones that don't like the small loose hairs on the left though I'm afraid.

Excellent picture, slightly off topic anyone know of a decent online guide for doing self portraits it maybe my only possible escape for this months competition!

[Ceebs]

Excellent photo. The eyes do it!

[HanC]

Lovely! I like the other pictures you have posted too! Very talented :D

[Flashman]

Great shot, your eyes are mesmerising! :) Talent on BOTH sides of the lens, good stuff! :thumbs:

Flashy

[lysonp]

Super duper eyes, wish the hairs would vanish.
Nice black and white picture, well done

[SiNoO]

lovely eyes ;)

[Joe90]

Hi new today. It's a great shot (I can never get my eyes as focused as that in SP's). Lovely tones and a really good crop. As for the hair, sorta like it as it looks like your hand was holding it back etc.

[madamelemon]

I agree i think the hairs do make the photographs you have amazing eyes!

[ldwallis]

Brilliant, huge fan of this image.
