First of all I apologise for deleting an earlier version of this SP!
There were some minor changes I forgot to apply and being a perfectionist in the matter of Self Portraits I had to correct these defects! :)

step by step PP:
1. camera hand held, point and shoot
2. applying an elongated crop
3. using "exposure" plug-in in PSCS2 and convert it to film Kodak TRI-X400 pushed 2 stops.
4. give it a bit of a brownish tone
5. frame

That's all folks! :)

Hi Tom,
This is a very interesting luminosity. Enough details, not too much. I love the composition too. Good work !
Ivan

Beautiful shadows and I love the brown tones. I like how he's off-center along with the horizontal cropping. Wonderful use of PP, TFS!

Hello Tom,
What a look! I really like this portrait with those dark and lightened zones. Beautiful texture and composition. Well done and thanks,
Claudine

Are you tired of blue? :) I like the light caught in your right eye - does make it look a bit devilish - and semi-disappearing face. Well done, Sir.

Katya

Hello Tom, Nice composition and nice tones. I like that brownish tone!

Well done! Marie-José

This is a great self portrait! I really like the B&W look. It enhances the details and contrast! Great lighting and pose!!

A very artistic work, my friend!

A very good self-portrait, ToM, and always good to see you. Very nice pose and treatment of the image to give it a very mysterious mood. Well done!

Hey Tom,

looking gorgeous! :P I like the effect you have done here, the contrast, lighting and details are awesome... Well done! Thank you for sharing

Cheers,
Sweety

Hello ToM, you're looking good! As Sweety says: "Looking gorgeous!"
I think the lighting here is just right. You have hidden yourself in the shadows, but we can still see you... Very well done. Thank you,
Janice

Yes, making it, means like writting a diary, because only we know, what were we thinking at the moment...
We have to do it, I belive, not for vanity, or narcisism...but to remember what was like at the time:)
REGARDS, DONT STOP DOING IT:)), M.

Hi Tom,

Great self portrait, very nice colorization effect and the mood created by the low lighting is excellent.
Happy Holidays,
Vassilis

Bonjour.
Belle présentation et très belle photo.
Concernant le titre, au vu du regard, je pense qu'il y effectivement un monstre là dessous...! (^*^)

Cool self! Great compo and light.

Happy new year bud!

Cheers!

Ben.
