that is a great image! I like how you have included the huge flower. Great job!

Thank you! very much Tracy....:-)

Very nice, I can see you are composing your next shot. Wish we could see that thought bubble;-)

I really like how you took the color out of everything except the eyes. This is very artistic, and is just what I would expect from you. :) I think I might have to throw myself in here soon.

What's that sound? Like thousands of butterflys... oh I see, it's all the hearts that you have set aflutter! Great shot Samarn, looks like I am going to have some competition when I finally upload my own pic.

Ooooh, I'm so modest...

Did you use the timer or did someone take the photo Sam?Excellent use of B&W and color.Now I can put a face to the eye lol.
Peace&Respect Jojo

Great self-portrait..
it looks good that its only your eye's and the flower that is in colors.
Good work

Darryl.......Thought bubble wy didnīt i think about that.....:-)
Thank you very much Joe!
Hahahaha!........Sam! iīm waiting......:-)
Yes, the timer..... Jojo.
Thank you Kristian!

I agree with everyone, it's a great portrait Samuel!^^ the color on the eye is very nice but what made it a very interesting portrait is especially the play with light/shadows. the way the light fall just on your face, and the others parts being more dark.
it bring an interesting view and reinforce your pensive expression.

and for bonus, you are very cute... and not scarry! looool^^

Thanks Cain!.........you are cute to....;-)

Hey! I did'nt see it !!! Very artistic portrait. You seem to think of something, but what?

I agree with ::Joby, awesome eyes!

This is great. Very artistic.

ooooo I really liked the flower. Good idea, good pic as well-Meg

nice pose - For future reference - you could use something like KnockOut to get a better mask of the hairline - it can be a real pain to use sometimes but gives excellent results.

Terrific self-portrait, Samuel. Neat composition.

Well hi Samuel. ;) I sure missed this one somewhere along the way. Neat composition and I love Darryl's bubble comment. I am wondering what you are wondering too.

Well done for posting a self-potrait. I like it :-)

Sam, you look like Ian Thornley. Nice shot. I like the b&w againt color contrast.

Hello Sam. Everybody expects that we must be arrogant if we do a self-portarait, but I disagree. There are many reasons for doing so. One of them is experimentation. In your case here I very much like what you did. The layering of you on top of the flower at differeing scales is really imaginative. Then you shifted your own image to black and white to further set it apart, and I think it worked well. Thankis for the inspiration, and don't be surprised if I come out with a clone ;-)

I like the shadows and color and the flower, it's really done well. Congrats on a good job done.

I like the color and meaning of your expresion, its soft, brightness and calm.......great work here!!!!!!!!!1

I wanted to say, I thought your self portrait is captivating. I love the pose. Not a bad looking bloke either. That helps.
Pat (sigh...)

Thank you very much, it feels great that you like it...;-)

Well hello Samuel. Now I can put a face to your comments as well and I must say that I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.

game over. this rocks

I like this a lot :) great self-portrait

I don't even know where to begin! This is really amazing.
