Decided to enter this month

2nd time entering the assignments here.

Simple lighting for this, Vivitar 283 outside of large window with miniblinds triggered by pocketwizards.

Self-portrait, your opinion is very much appreciated

The intensity is well-captured. Good exposure with the eye in a shadow.

My main critique is that I find the regular pattern of the blinds a little distracting. It reminded me of prison stripes, war paint, etc. I found that I was making a list of similar patterns in my head instead of focusing on the face and the intensity.

Glad to see you posting on the WA.

Chris,

Thanks for your comments, I'll take that into consideration next time

I had a stripe coming onto my hair, but it was too distracting.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt:

Wow, I'm glad you decided to enter this month (or actually perhaps not, you've set a high standard for the rest of us).

Personally I like the pattern of light. The B&W treatment works very well. Nicely done.

Cheers,
Rich

Personally, I like the light. I had thought it reminded me a prisoner peering out through bars, longing to be free. Nice job!
