Self portrait I took of myself while enjoying a great pipe on a beautiful Minnesota spring afternoon while meandering through the Saint John's graveyard looking for cool names on headstones (like Thadeus, for example).

A different perspective for a self portrait. I like it for a self portrait even though it would not be suitable for a desktop, unless friends and relatives want it on their computer. As a non-smoker, I still like pipe smoke, by others. The location could have been netter but as your self portrait it works.

The smoke swirls are very interesting and the black and white works well for this.

Is the background of this a graveyard?! This photo could be the cover of a murder-mystery! Very nice perspective, I agree. Well done. I like the wisps of smoke, along with the sunshine peking through.

The interplay of sun and smoke works well. Hope you found a Thaddeus! lauren

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. -Salma Hayek
