Very cool lighting for a portrait. The light forces you to look right at the eyes, the most important part of the picture. And whether you used shallow DOF in camera, or blurred the edges in PP, I'm not sure. But it adds greatly to the effect, keeping your eyes right in the center. Great job, love it!

Very nice self-portrait, Joe, with a very original pose with your hands on your face making you look very pensive. Good sharpness and very nice light with a beautiful B&W. Excellent!

Sorry, I have run out of goodies for the day!

Brilliant shot Joe, I think the lighting you have here gives a nice effect. This could be an music album cover any day. Well done.

Nice portrait Joe - You don't look old enought to be worried about wrinkles - and when you do eventually get them, they add that natural look of wisdom. But back to the photo, your lighting is simple and effective. Exposure is perfect - a very technical and thought out B&W portrait. Nicely done.

Very nice SP man! I like the central position of your face in the frame and the lighting is great. Have you thought of darkening the background selectively so as to isolate your face even more? Also as per you note about wrinkles, if it really bugs you you can get rid of them on PS.

Cheers Joe!

Hello Joe, this one's very sharp and your pose is very creative indeed. the contrast is excellent and this is definitely one of the better b&w portraits that i've seen here! worth saving in my fave folder! :) Ron

Wonderful self portrait Joe!
Nice lightning, it gives your face and hands some interesting dimensions and curves.
The lighting also work wonders on those shadows, looks fabulous!
And good job on the dark backdrop, is it just a plain wall?
Haha, is this a new form of botox? ;)

Regards,

Biance.

Absolutely fantastic job with the light & b/w, never mind the aging showing eventually we all pass through that path (*.*)... bravo!

Ahh Joe, if we could just pull all those wrinkles away! Sigh! But we all have face old age! Me too!

Interesting photo.
