Hi Leon,

I agree with Magda, it's moody and well presented. Well done on the capture and composition.

Hey Leon, cool self portrait! The B&W is excellent for the somber mood. Good detail on your skin and a great tight crop.

Have a great weekend,

Alli

Excellent self-Portrait Leon! Very impressive and strong mood created and enchanced by the B&W, gives a lovely result. Very sharp and great detail.

Stunning, Leon, simply stunning. A perfect one for the SH's uncertainty theme. Lighting is perfect, b&w very strong indeed... Maybe a greyer colour for the text, though... but that's just a minor nit-pick.

Great shot Leon, Nice great details, I like the tone too, I also like to see more details from your eyes...if possible...so I can see what you are looking at.. :P Excellent work Leon, thanks for sharing

Hi Leon,

Fantastic self portrait! Very expressive and strong in emotions! The tight crop and B&W effect enhances the mood you wanted to express.
Very well done!

Bonjour leon,
I like much this portrait. Beautiful and tight composition with very good tone. Your starting intention is successful but I hope that the black side of the portrait does not show too gloomy thoughts! Very well done! Annie

A great black and white portrait of yourself. You did a wonderful job here.

I was away for a few days so I missed this very well done self-portrait, Leon. I find self-portrait very difficult and I think you have succeeded very well here. I like you thinking expression and your very tight crop showing only your profile. Great convertion to B&W. Excellent!

Boujour Léon, C'est très bien comme B&W, j'aime bien aussi ce cadrage très serré et la bonne définition des détails de ton visage. Tu a l'air très mystérieux sur cet auto portrait. Intéressant travail de composition...
