Taking a shot at the chiaroscuro contest and I'm the only model I have so you're stuck with a self portrait.

Dude, that's an awesome photo. I think you should do really well with this one, Mikel. Very dramatic. It's also nice to put a face on a friend.

Excellent interpretation. Dark and dramatic. I enjoy the depth and offset placement too. I see mischief!

Good Luck in the contest.

Really excellent! I love your expression, the fabulous way you managed the light and use of black and white. Subject placement is superb - love the way it draws the eye into the negative space. This would get my vote for a win. Happy Thanksgiving and good luck. anne

Tell me if you like it or don't but be sure to tell me why! I promise to always give honest and sincere (albeit gentle when necessary) critiques. MY NEW YEARS TIP for all, go have some fun with your new gear you got for Christmas. Do some things you rarely or never do. If you always shoot scenics, go shoot macros (or as close up as you can get.) Practice on different subjects, try new lighting techniques, bracket your shots (shoot the same image at different exposures and different apertures), get down low and shoot from your back, your belly, and your knees. Bend, twist, lean and climb up on things. Shoot toward the sky (carefully - blown out sunlight is NOT attractive :-) Just do something different and amaze yourself then share with us :-) Love you Caedians.
