Marco questa é bella! Secondo me tu sei ancora sul percorso e non all'arrivo ma stai salendo i gradini a tre per volta.

Fantastic! The green is superb(green is usually an indication for healing) as well the distorted reflection. Great composition. The note is so true and goes so well with your photo expression.
Observation:the removal of the little red dot in your eye and some more sharpness on your face would make this photo just that much more excellent. Anyway, I will join with torr's sentiments about this being a masterpiece.
Fantastic work Marco!

Michael

Hi Marco, what a magnificent piece of work !

Congratulations !

Marleen

hi marco,
it is really weel designed,and the idea works with the pic.just one thing,I am not so sure if it can be called as b&w.
regards

very true Marco.. sometimes we just need to be quit with ourselves without the need to put on masks over our true feelings for other people to see... but it can also be a dangerous thing.. to get too closed inside yourself can damage you and drive you insane... i know this too well...

this is a beautiful shot.. i love the colour on your face on the left and the distortion in the reflection.. makes me think of the distorted view of yourself that often comes from too much introspection.. molto bravo Marco :-)

Ayda

Magnifique photo...originale,de grande qualité et surtout surprenante....
Bravo...
Claude

Fantastic portrait. Good post processing work too. Well done.

Fantastic shot. I love the way you look and the colours. The idea of reflection was great.
I love it,
Anna

Foto molto bella e significativa rapportata alle tue parole ed essere "Far from the maddening crowd" talvolta è molto utile e salutare. Ci aiuta a capire sempre un po' di più noi stessi ed a rapportarci con gli altri
Arturo

Oh yes, Marco, I love those Italian men! ;^)

This is a really awesome self portrait - the green is very cool and I like the reflection. Great post!

Bonjourno Marco

I like the green -vs- magenta color opposition. The curved & distorted reflection is marvellous, & balances the composition. Very good graphism too. Bellisimo!

Very good composition Marco. The idea of the reflexion is excellent and the mix of colors. Very well done.

Original and interesting work Marco,first for expressivity and sharpness,then for the composition that makes intriguing the view.Here I see as you are looking into yourself with a bit of dualism as well as loneliness makes you better reconize your dark side.Meaningful picture,well done.
Edie

Hmmm...
A creation to think about our nature, ego, reality and how we percieve them.
Thanks for sharing it, Marco.

Ciao Marco, scatto molto significativo
e ben fatto, ma sono gli occhi in cui
mi piacerebbe leggere, questi nascondano
molto di piu che voresti farci credere!!!
Bravo per il scatto.
Rosana

j'aime beaucoup la construction de votre image

Ciao Marco,
what a beautiful selfportrait. Great idea the contrast between b+w and the greenish. Very nice.
Saluti, Nino

great work marco.....

emanuela
