I have been perusing your portfolio and really like your work. I happened on to the image next to this of the child, I then glanced over at this self portriat of you. needless to say i saw a striking resemblance. I had to believe that the subjecys in these two photos are related. Then i read on ! Congrates on the addition even though i am late ! I have 3 sons and a daughter, all grown they have brought me so much joy and pride, and they grow and go so fast.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Hugo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You scared me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!
Excelent approach in selfportrait! Lighting is perfect although the left (right...) part of the nose is a overexposed... But if it wasn't maybe the overall result would be flat... The overexposition seems controled and is clearly an option. The result is great and the "model" play a very important role with his expression. I like this a lot. Missed you man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ahmed, It sure is a close composition, but it's an uncropped image, in line with the two others in this triptych. You have a point, though, it's a bit too closely composed.
Thanks for your honest opinion, much appreciated!
Cheers,
Hugo

Hugo, It's you!!!!!
Hiiiii!
Finally we've got to see a face behind the smartest critiques on UF!
Great! LIKE SON LIKE FATHER.... yeah I know, it's the other way around but I've seen your son's photo before this one and I guessed right away that this must be your self-portrait. The similarity is striking. The only difference is that he looks like a very sweet angel, which I?m sure he is. (Right now, though, I can't help smiling as I recall a comment I read on your son's portrait. I think it said " oh, oh! Watch out!.... it's a mini-Hugo!")
Anyway.....I?d like to congratulate you with this lovely and original series of macro images. This is powerful work, Hugo, and?..it?s emotionally very appealing. At first I thought you must have been angry when you shoot this portrait. However, after a better look, and particularly after seeing the uncropped version you added, I cannot but change my mind. There is indeed a faint smile on your face, which is very nice. Good crop and toning.
Very expressive portrait
Emgy

Hi Hugo... Excellent shot... Love the angle and the cropping... Love the expression... It is really great!!! Great words Hugo... full of wisdom... sometimes we wish to have paid more attention... but we are human being... and we learn from our experiences... and we keep on hoping that the younger generations are better than we are... So let's just hope for a better tomorrow...

Hi Hugo! Sorry for being "disappeared" for a while, I am quite busy lately. This photo is really GREAT! I love the strong eye contact, and it feels so real like if you are REALLY looking at me from screen! I'm making faces to you now, to see if you expression changes... Hm... no... Maybe you are trained to be like those English... ahhh.... I forgot what they are called now. You know those wardens outside castles, that are not allowed to change a muscle in face expression no matter what happens.
Great Hugo, very good! And you have very nice intelligent eyes!

Hi Neil, how polite that you waited for Jon to comment... You could've just banged in there, and take ALL the credit. But wait... It is not Willem that is frightened, but it's YOU who felt intimidated by the "sinister" look in my eyes... Better seek shelter behind Jon, then!
And about that scar, It's there alright, but my head's just too thick to notice...) See how my lower lip sticks out a bit? That's how I tend to cover it up. Don't let anybody in on this secret, pleeeeeasse?
Take care, Neil, I enjoyed your comment....Lo)

Dear Hugo,
great followup to the last picture: 30 minutes old. Is that the tryptich you mentioned in some of the comments to me? Great idea if so ;-)
Technically, I like the b/w composing, the absence of color lets you play with dramatic shadows and textures. The crop is well done (a tad too strong on the right eye?), I also like the shifted horizon. Strengthens the staring look, so that that the eyes really try to hypnotize the viewer. Great effect.
Well done! Cheers, Thilo

Hi Hugo (the proud parent),
I had to wait for Jon to comment before i could, because i too thought it to be a little sinister (a la Hitchcock), we don't want to go frightening Willem do we?
But at least i was pleased to see that the rumours are not true.....that you've had your face lifted so often, that the scar on your chin is an old knee injury :) i didn't see any scar so there can't be any truth in that.
Just joking Hugo....
Take care and best wishes to you and yours.
Your friend in the alps, Neil

hugo, we have already discussed this one (and the next one) before. however, i saw this one posted and it looks a bit different. i think you did it. lowering the shadow level over your left eye definitely toned down the previous feel. changed the look from angry to concerned. very good. it fits the intended "storyline" much better without losing the shading levels.
take care,
tom

It is good to think twice before starting to teach your child, they will never forget, sometimes perhaps they want to forget, but this will start a bit later ;)!
