Thanks Rebecca, you're very kind. I like very much your work too, and in particular the way you capture faces - as well as clouds. Very very impressive, especially in monochrome. Thanks again, Anthony.
Decided to reply in here so that any others that have not viewed your portfolio will go and have a look too. You take amazing photos,Anthony and your clouds are FANTASTIC! I'm a big fan. And I agree with you about high contrast shots being kinder, I feel the same about my own self-portrait work!! Hides a multitude of imperfections doesn't it !!? Cheers, R
Thanks Rebecca, very nice of you to comment. I enjoyed playing about with this shot and finally decided on the high contrast style. It was a good deal kinder to me than the original shot! Cheers and best wishes, Anthony.
Hey Anthony, cool self-portrait! This reminds me of the stipple pictures we used to have to do in art classes in high school, white white areas and then the solid blacks as well. Wow, I really really like this, perfect light and perfect amount of grain. Also a great expression on your face. Love it. 7+++ and a favorite.
