    Re: Self Portrait

    i think its an interesting shot overall, many layers, cool colors. but overall i think it's a little confusing to not have a particular part that really draws in your attention. i think i would actually enjoy this shot more without the reflection(?) . the very blurry figure in the forground with the in-focus individual in the background are the strong points for me as it kind of has a sense of reversed importance.

    Good idea and a nice try but just a little bit to busy - have to agree with greg about the blurry guy but I think I like the reflection and the girls face is funny, it does a lot for the image. The colors are good - those strong colors suit this pic. For me this pic represents how fast everything moves today.

    I like the idea, but would agree there is a bit too much in here. Greg has made some points i agree with about the blurry figure in the foreground and in focus figure in bg being key here.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    This is an interesting concept and I guess that it works for me straight like it is. I think that the wide tonal range and the vivid colours really carry the picture. I am not sure how I would perceive the scene if these two aspects were weaker. Nice border by the way.
