This is a picture that my brother took when we were on a plane. It was at sunset, and I was looking out the window, and all of the sudden my brother said, "Wow that is awesome!! Hold Still Hold Still!!" Yes, I have his permission to post this picture. I took the picture, messed with the colors, fiddled with the contrast, air-brushed the background in, and toned down the glare on my face. I added the strip on the side (Getting to kind of be a trademark eh?) If I ever get to become a famous writer, I'd have to use this as the picture of me on the inside flap of the book. hah hah. Let me know what y'all think.

The position here reminds me of the usual look I have on a plane. =) The expression is pretty interesting and the light kind of accents the whole image. I'd suggest maybe removing all background lights, especially the one near your nose. =) The title fits well also. Overall, wonderful job!

I really like this shot. The expression, the lighting and the open square on the left.
Though I REALLY I think it would look Cool on the same size frame, just ALL Black Background.
My suggestion would be to use the Laso tool in photoshop, cut out and copy just the head and neck shot, then paste it on a complete black background. Then zoom in and clone out the artifacts left near your nose.
I've got a flat panel monitor, and straight on, it looks pretty clean. If I look from Left to right though, you've got Some Serious BIG artifacts on the right side in the black. Also have some on the left side too. I'm just pointin em out cause I've cleaned up so many of my Own Artifacts like that, that I just look for em.
The Shot? Really like it.
You're a damn good lookin guy. Ya sorta look like Tom Cruise! :-) I forsee you gettin some propositions form some the young ladies on this site!! :-) :-) :-)

Hehe, very good ^_^ - some nice manipulation there and I love the colours!
Your brother was right, it is a fantastic shot *claps* but your techniques have made it into a work of art...Well done! :]

Glad to meet you Caiden! This is an awesome image, it is dramatic, clear, expertly composed. You and your brother have done a fine job! High marks from me for sure.

I am going to be on vacation for a few weeks, check in with you when I return and will miss you all ~Waves to all my friends~ Carrie
Quite a unique shot. Really like it. Very good lighting. I also, think it would look best on an all black background. And nice to see you :)

I think this is absolutely stunning, the gaze of a determined man. Simple and yet powerful. Waiting for your first book, let us know when it hit the book stands. Best Wishes, Dwight.

I too really like this shot, everything about it is cool. It's also nice to put a face to the man behind the artwork!

o0o0o, very creepy and mysterious. Nice tweeking. I might suggest adding a couple of multicolored stripes to the "trademark" on the side just to jazz it up a little. And there are a couple of rays of light behind you, to be exact, behind your nose, that you may want to remove. It sortof looks like spikes coming out of your nose. lol. (sorry, couldn't resist that, but it really does) Otherwise, great shot and lighting. Fantastic work!

Hah Hah!
Maybe I should re-name it, "Caiden; The Rhino Man!". heh heh. What you don't know is that I have my nose pierced and two spike/studs in the bridge. (OH OW OW OW!!!) That hurts just thinking about it! No I don't have a pierced nose. I hate needles.
The only reason I endure them is to give blood, and in the process of recieving medical attention. But that is a funny idea!

Oh, wow Caiden. You're back and better than ever! hehe. Ah and see, what you don't know is that I know you have have your nose pierced and I think you should get those new multicolored rubber spikes and stick a couple orange and pink ones in.
You give blood, good for you! We live right next to a Red Cross so my Dad goes over and donates blood whenever he can. Which by the way, he's joined caedes now! His username is DJP.

watch out for 2012
hehe, he's right about the album cover! You could name your band "The Fluffy Rhino". Don't ask about the fluffy part, long story! And yes, I know, I'm commenting all over YOUR picture page. :-D

Wow, I didn't even recognize you at first! You look very deep in thought, very intense. I like your color job as well, it gives the photo a nice touch. Keep up the great work!

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible- and achieve it.
Perfectly intense photograph!
Betcha Valentino or Klein would love to get you into their lineup.
Your facial structure is awesome...particularly the straight, clean line from your forehead to the tip of your nose.
