Hello all, here's the attempt for this week. It was fun taking a picture of myself for a change. C&C welcome, aka please tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong Cheers, Dan.

Hi Dan, cool pic. I'm no expert so all I would say is that the lens/cam you are holding is a bit too intrusive.

I love the playful, devil may care expression.

You look a bit like Nicolas Cage, the famous off beat movie star, nephew of Francis Ford Coppola.

Hey Dan i love the DOF in this shot... something that might have looked cool was if you were resting the lens on your shoulder

Thanks for the comments everybody. PyroDenny, I actually tried some shots with the camera/lens over my shoulder but, didn't like how they turned out. Maybe I'll have to give it another try. I have a few other ideas as well. I'll see what I can come up with before the WA is due.

Fun shot, and I love the hair and expression. Oh yeah, and the lens! We do love our glass.

Fine use of shallow dof, the expression is the icing on the cake
