This is my very first self-portrait! Before joining TL i've never thought in doing this kind of photography... i was happy just walking around and shooting landscapes and buildings; sunsets and sunrises; clouds and trees...

... but i've never looked for the potencial that people have as a subject... now i've started to put more focus in people and portrait photography.

I feel i've just crossed the point of no return... I just want to learn more and more! and i'm couting with you.

I've decided to post this shot today for two main reasons:
1- Challenge made by Dawn (this is for you friend)
2- There's so many self-portraits in here, it wasn't fair that you didn't knew who's behind the camera that take the photos you critique!

Post-Production in PSP v9.0:
- Black tshirt agains white wall and natural light from the right side of me (left for you)
- Natural sweating (exercise)
- clarify (5x2)
- desaturate
- messed up the background to give extra interest without loosing the grip in me!
- clarify again

Hope you like this one, please feel free to critique.

Just as I said in my critique just a crop...

...but since I was going to do a WS anyways I thought I'd do some other stuff too :) This is not to say that I think BW is better, this was just to show you a diff version (I just boosted the contrast).

Aqui vai o meu WS... Espero que gostes ;)
Os passos que dei foram:
1. Desaturate
2. Contrast/Brightness (-9/-2)
3. Clarify
