[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was taking a picture of myself for our new photography business' web site (www.blakdesigns.com) I know a lot of PP isn't super popular on this site but I thought this would appeal to the younger generation so I did it this way. Let me know what you think.

Hi Phil,
I really like it. The picture actually doesn't look like a self-portrait because it doesn't look very set up like "LOOK AT ME", if you know what I mean. The environment and BW tones look really good. I think that there may be a bit too much light on your face, and there could be more details on your face, but it is a lot better than self portraits from other people I have seen. Nice job.

Hi Phil,
I like your shot here. I do agree with Leanne regarding the over-exposure mainly on your forehead. Still, it's a cool shot! Nice to see you post again!!!

very nice self portrait. But I found the FG a little too overpowering especially since you isolated it's color. And I also agree with a harsh light on the face especially in the forehead.

"Younger generation"? I reckon I'm older than you and I like it!
Good casual pose and expression, nice work with the vignette and the desaturation - ok, true, I don't quite see the significance in the red barrel, but it's 'arty' and looks good, what more could we young people want! Hehe.
Nice work
Rew

a model in the making? :) nice photo shot of urself..

nah not for the younger generation only but for someone like me who is older than u.. haha..

A hottie and a cutie. Nice beefy pose. Opps, sowee. I should be critiquing the image's qualities :)
I agree w/ Rew regarding the drum. It's a good B&W conversion. I like the version in your website more. TFS,
Freddie :)
