Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaThat's a wonderful portrait. I like it very much. 27 Mar 2008 5:49am @Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael! @Rags: Thanks Rags :0) Peter Miller from Lichfield, United KingdomYou have captured yourself so well with great lighting and now we know what you look like 27 Mar 2008 9:37am @Peter Miller: Yes, you do!! Of course I have had a "happy" picture up all along in my bio ;0) Bonj from Jefferson City, United StatesNice portrait. How fitting, having the window in the background. A more serious look than that in your about shot. Nice detail and the black and white works well. 27 Mar 2008 10:23am @Bonj: Thanks Bonj! I know...the windows. I just can't get away from them. Chris from South Jersey, United StatesA wonderful shot - the lighting is great and very effective in b&w. Well done!! 27 Mar 2008 11:05am @Chris: Thanks Chris! MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom"Hello" Tracey, very pleased to meet you :) 27 Mar 2008 12:15pm @MaryB: Nice to meet you Mary ;0) Thanks for the comment! @JC: Awww...thanks :0) Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesA beautiful portrait, Tracey. You've framed the shot beautifully, and, then, that soft natural light falling on the side of your face ... stunning! 27 Mar 2008 12:19pm @Ron: Thanks Ron! You are too kind :0) Michael Rawluk from Prince George, CanadaBeautiful face and beautiful portrait. Very nice use of the available light. 27 Mar 2008 3:14pm @Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael! @Alvin: Thanks Alvin :0) Graham Russon from Cape Town, South AfricaBeautiful shot, the bw works well and the composition is just great. 27 Mar 2008 7:52pm @Graham Russon: Thanks Graham! Self-portraits are difficult for me as I hate having my picture taken. But I think I kinda liked this one :0p Monte Stevens from Fort Collins, United StatesThis is a great portrait! Love the light, her expression and pose. Very well done! 27 Mar 2008 7:54pm @Monte Stevens: Thanks Monte! The expression was mine...it was a self portrait. I don't like to smile for a self-portrait...it never looks natural to me. standley from brou-sur-chantereine, FranceSuperb self-portrait. I like the side lighting! 27 Mar 2008 9:36pm @standley: Thanks Standley :0) I didn't have a choice with the lighting. It was the only window I had to work with...I hate flash for a self portrait...and I only had harsh tungsten light. So, I used what I had. Glad you approve! Wysterior from Kloten, SwitzerlandGreat self-portrait - a big "hi Tracey" What are you looking at? 27 Mar 2008 10:19pm @Wysterior: And a big "hi" right back to ya... I was looking at the side of my vanity in my bathroom. Anywhere but the camera :0p Only truth here! bronzebilly u.k. from Barry,Vale of Glamorgan, United KingdomHey Tracey..this is a truly professional portrait my friend..superb lighting and expression...fit for any portfolio.. 28 Mar 2008 1:11am @bronzebilly u.k.: Wow, thanks Billy :0) e nelsonian from Pasadena, United Statesgreat great portrait, the lighting is done oh so well, beautiful 28 Mar 2008 1:26am @e nelsonian: Thanks E Nelsonian! Nothing like natural light! @tetsu: Your comment is appreciated Tetsu! GJC from Kyoto, JapanThis is fine, reminding me of the WPA and FSA photos of the 1930s. 29 Mar 2008 11:37am drphoto from Newcastle upon Tyne, United KingdomOooh I like this! It shows a completely different side to you than your bio pic (although not literally, as in my case). You remind me of the telepath from Minority Report here, but I guess its the lighting and camera angle because your bio pic is totally different (but just as beautiful, if not more so)! =D) Dan 30 Mar 2008 5:12am @drphoto: Dan...thanks! (I think :0) I don't know who the telepath is from Minority Report, so I am not sure. But I saw the word "beautiful" in the there, so I am hoping it is a good thing! |
