I wish I had shot of this yesterday before I had shaved.

I'm sorry to star yet again in the weekly assignment, but I don't think my wife would let me photograph any of her stubble even if I've asked.

Edit: image changed.

Go macro, and tell her that no one would recognize her. Which will, of course, be the truth.

Very interesting take on the WA. Kudos for creativity and a very interesting final image.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thanks all for the kind words.

I actually had reservation that this shot would work.

Alibenn,

I think you are the master as far as coolness is concerned. :

Yakim,

I always like something different, but the hard part is to come out with something that is different and nice at the same time.

Btw, I think you haven't play for a few weeks haven't you?

You're not alone in that department Yakim.

navyblue,

Hey textures are textures, I would simply call it a worthy effort. Way to think outside the box!

Best Regards,
Kurt

Fascinating shot! Very creative, indeed. Makes me wonder what the two shining things are on either side of your nose. Well done!

All the best,

Endre

Thanks guys.

The 2 out of focus highlights are my eyes, I didn't know that my eye were so sparkly.

Probably in part due to I was squinting down to make sure the camera is pointed at the right place.

I changed the entry, I think this one tells a better story

, but probably lack the mysterious quality of the image it replaced.

I'm sorry, but I think I preferred the first one more. Good idea in both cases though.

Great idea and well executed!

Getting the focal point right must have been a nightmare though?

Thanks guys.

Getting the focus and framing right does take quite a few tries, some luck is probably involved.

I agree. The former had some "cleaness" (can't find a better word, sorry) in it.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
