It always help having a beautiful model to shoot...even if it is yourself Great shots! The last one is my favorite comp-wise. You captured the "I think she is staring at me" pose in the first one...perfectly.

Don't feel guilty about altering your photos....this is an art, not a math test. People used to (and some still do) spend hour after hour in a dark room...trying different things and trying to create an artistic expression....did they feel guilty? Why should digital be any different?

Keep shooting and playing with them any way you please.

Cool! I really dig your photos.

And YES! It's OK to mod your photos on photoshop.

Wow! That's really something, I love it!!

Awww thank you guys so much! This has been SO encouraging... so much so I feel inspired to go somewhere else and do another set.

Heh thanks for the assortment of praise and the information about altering pictures. Sometimes I fee like I'm a little too reliant on PS and I'm not happy unless I use it, but hey. It's an availabe tool why NOT take advantage?

Anyway, thanks again guys. y'all are really a very positive group!

The way I look at it, Photoshop is just a digital darkroom. Sure, you can put pink cows floating in purple skies, but you could do that in the darkroom, too. It's just easier to go overboard with software. But I think just about every image could benefit from some basic editing, which would be similar to adjusting time in the developer, temp, contrast filters, etc.

Fantastic! I really suck at self portraits. I can't seem to get a good one. I think I need to practice more. Maybe it's just that I don't like my face

Last is first..

 

[malachite]

Maybe it's just that I don't like my face

I have that same problem. I do OK in front of a mirror in the morning but when I see a pic of myself.......Ugh

I think I'll make 'self-portraits' a personal project (what else would it be) and see what I can do.

Michael..........wondering what I'd look like with one ear
