You shouldn`t look this angry as long as you do have hair!We,the less fortunate,greet you with a vote!:-)

AL		18-Mar-2006 12:28
Fierce one! But worth a vote for your cool hairdo - Will be a waste if you cut it away :P

JW		18-Mar-2006 11:47
A bit scary this one. Superb composition. Vote

Guest		18-Mar-2006 10:17
Even better than your sepia one last week (which for some reason isn't in your SP gallery - you chose the other one!!) voted

Carol E Sandgren		18-Mar-2006 05:37
YES! A Clockwork Oranges's Malcolm MacDowell! That's it! How'd you get your hair to do such nice graphically pleasing spikes like that??

Dave Wixx		18-Mar-2006 04:08
The evil eye - really nice shot.

Guest		18-Mar-2006 01:50

Roe..		18-Mar-2006 01:16

Guest		18-Mar-2006 01:04
Excellent. One of your best shots.

Craig Persel		18-Mar-2006 00:12
Your best SP yet. Creative, surreal and wonderful. Big Vote.

KimKong		17-Mar-2006 22:57
Extremely expressive by both your eye and your hairs (perfectly composed BTW). It reminds me of an eagle or/and A Clockwork Orange character. That should tell you how strong your SP looks to me. Excellent!

Guest		17-Mar-2006 21:25
I'm with Adrian - be a real man and shave it all off ;). This reminds me of Lisa Stansfield - have just slapped my vinyl copy of Affection onto the Rega!

Marisa Livet		17-Mar-2006 20:17
Histrionic and cleverly self-ironical The originality and the creative approach to self-portrait are there, as always, and the technique is not neglected either. In short, another impressive shot of one of my favourite photographers. Marisa

Dan Chusid		17-Mar-2006 20:17
That look went out last year. Better go back to the Mohawk.

Guenter Eh		17-Mar-2006 19:28
Nice "abstract" Ray :0)

Guest		17-Mar-2006 19:14
Great stuff, I remember hair:-)

beverley harrison		17-Mar-2006 19:08

Antonis Sarantos		17-Mar-2006 19:06
Very expressive and well composed SP. Your treatment is awesome as always!!!

Gail Davison		17-Mar-2006 18:58
Only a trim needed there Ray. hahah.

Carole Stevens		17-Mar-2006 18:47
The fine wet streaks make a good effect! Ilove the moody mysterious look!It really works in mono as well!

SRW		17-Mar-2006 18:44
Yet another fantastic variation on the SP theme! (The cropping is perfect... ;-)

Guest		17-Mar-2006 18:04
I like the streaks of your wet hair here. Nice b&w.

Guest		17-Mar-2006 18:02

Guest		17-Mar-2006 17:50
