I hope I have attached this image correctly...

Anyway, self portrait. Not smiling - been heavily criticised by friends...

Thanks

I really like your low key self portrait. Very emotive. Welcome to the forums.

Nice one! Welcome.

not too experienced but i like the look of that one!!

Awesome shot. A really edgy look to the light. For me there's a little too much of the face in shadow from the large, soft light - but on the whole, it's bloody good!

I think the picture has a lot of style, Welcome.

Very nice. Really like the shadows.

Wow - thanks to everyone for the C&C - much appreciated.

My wife was kind enough to smile long enough while I dragged out the flash the other evening. I was proving to a friend, who is just starting photography, that the tutor who led the course she did a few weeks back was talking rubbish when he told her to never use a flash is she can help it.... :S

I am not expert but I told her he was wrong. Very wrong.
