Self Portrait BW.jpg

This photo was inspired by Linda's photo self portrait Thanks Linda for giving that extra self confidence I needed to get in front of that camera.
This is what I look like at the end of the day. No make up. Tired. Bags under my eyes. But it's the real me.
If you want to see it in color or see more, I've added a SELF PORTRAITS gallery

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/60s f/5.6 at 68.0mm iso400 with Flash full exif

Aw shucks - this is lovely too - I've only just seen yours and Jeanne's!

Very Nice Lara!!

Hey Lara, I'm so pleased you've done a self portrait. This has really worked out well, hasn't it? AND you've used Photoshop too. So you've been bold on two fronts here to achieve a fantsatic result and ALL these comments. What a confidence booster!

Nice work Lara - never easy doing a self portrait but another good example today ~ John

Well done Lara! B&W works great and I like the way your eyes are focused on something else :)

Interesting. Here you reveal yourself, still reluctant to be photographed--your eyes, looking away and not at us. Very nice.

Thanks Jeanne and Angela. I had fun with PS as well. and had to up the contrast a bit. Original B&W was too flat.

Beautifully done! I love the composition. Eyes are so compelling and they often tell a story all their own! Love the toning. -- angela :)
