A selfportret in the mirror....

Tja, you have to do something on your free days off...... :) I made a photo of a guy and his camera, so I thought; I can make the same photo of myself in the mirror. And I did, the only thing I had to learn is to look in the mirror into the camera! I learned very fast.

So This is the result, I changed my profilphoto too, so now you can see it in my gallery and at my profile.

My eyes are very bleu, but not THAT bleu, so I played with the colours, cropped and framed it.

It's beautiful weather outside, so tonight I enjoy the evening sky, I hope you do too!!

Janneke
ps Tomorrow it's Mothersday here in Holland, so for all the mothers on TL. Have a warm and loving mothersday!! (even if you don't have a mothersday, it can still be the day of a mother...)

And all the others.... Have a good day tomorrow!

Hi Janneke,

I like this self portrait. It shows you and your hobby! I like the effect you have done with the coloring, accentuating the blue eyes, and the rest almost a black and white.

Creative and interesting! :D Lisa

Hello Janneke! Amazing face. Wonderful eye. Original scene. Very good capture. Original picture. Good luck!

Hoi Janneke.
Ja, dit is heel mooi. Ik zie weer dezelfde expressie als in de foto van je zoon. Heel mooi weergegeven.
Mooi scherp waar het moet zijn.
Knap gemaakt hoor.

Very striking image here Janneke! The composition is powerful, the eye plus the camera present a scrutiny of the observer. Excellent work with the saturation/desaturation of various elements, the recurring blues, and the depth of field is fantastic.
Well done!

Bonjour Janneke

Voici une photo très semblable à la dernière que j'ai publée et pourtant le résultat est très différent. Il est vrai que 30 ans séparent les 2 clichés, mais pour un photographe le fait de se cacher derrière son appareil reste le même
Belle photo

Amicalement

Sylvain

Oi, goed bedacht, dat ook van je trekt alle aandacht naar zich toe!
Janneke, leuk koppie en elegante vingertjes - een zelfportret een fotografe waardig.
Heel erg mooi licht op je huid en haar - prettige kleuren zo.

PS Vanochtend nog maar een tweede moederdag gevierd - de kleinkinderen vinden het heerlijk in onze tuin - hier hebben ze ieder een huisje met een rieten dakje en water om te spelen...

Groetjes

Brrr ik vind dat je er nog al heftig op staat Jan,je kijkt dwars door me heen en de donkere plek onder je oog en de strakke mond maken het allemaal nog meer bizar.
Al met al heel indrukwekkend werk .

Hallo Janneke.
Als dit geen Blauw oog is, dan weet ik het niet meer.
Prachtig zelfportret heb je hier van jezelf gemaakt.
Tis dat mijn haar niet zo blond en lang is anders deed ik je na.!
Mijn groene ogen zouden volgens mij ook best staan, al zien ze het niet meer zo scherp, haha
Excellent photo, Janneke.
Groeten van Jan

This is a very interesting shot. I can imagine it was tricky to focus on the mirror and not the process.
Great idea muting everything except your blue eye, and enhancing that color at that--it's great the way the blue is also picked up in the camera lens as well.
Very well composed and presented.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Janneke.
It is always good to see photographeres at work. Self portrait is sometimes last picture in the gallery.
Here your is very well presented and good effect on the eye added.
My compliments.

Hi Jan,
