Self Portrait

[Greg McCary]

I have been trying to come up with a self portrait for awhile now and all of the previous ones were just to common looking. So what do you think of this?
Thanks Aaron for all of the help. I promise no more self portraits sent to you for awhile.LOL I took this with Porta 400

LOL... Keep em coming. I love seeing you try new things :thumbsup: The others you showed me were nice as well but, this was my favorite as it didn't have your reflection in the glass, only the mirror. I also like how the green cast and noise create almost a cross processed feel. The only other thing I might ad is I feel it might be a bit stronger without the van in the reflection. The van is another point of interest and without it, all the focus would be on your reflection

Not too bad Greg, can't see you that well but I like the concept.

Very nice effect. As mentioned earlier, there's perhaps too much emphasis on the van. You might want to try cropping some of the van out and bring the primary focal point back to the reflection in the mirror. Nice job.

Thanks Freedom, Tyson. Aaron it's your fault I put the van in the shot. You sent me that link to all of those great vintage images from the Library of Congress on Flickr. The pictures looked great with the old cars in them. I feel this one may work better fifty years from now.LOL

ROTFL... Take good care of the negative. The Library of Congress could come knocking in 50 years

Without it there is going to be a lot of empty space in the image, instead there is another point of interest to keep the viewers attention.
