I think I like the first one best, because it seems the least posed. I find that, generally, it's hard to take a self-portrait when the subject isn't paying attention. However, in that case I was concentrating on holding the camera at an awkward angle and such, so I wasn't thinking about what my face was doing. It lead to quite a few odd expressions (turns out when I concentrate, sometimes it looks more like anger), but I think this one was a winner. I also really like the second one, but that's almost because it's the opposite of the first. Very obviously posed, but with interesting details. I played around with the lighting and the contrast on that one a whole lot, and I'm still not sure the one I chose was the best... On Feb 21, 2008, at 11:36 AM, Lottermoser George wrote: > KUDOS!
