Best in sepia.!

both versions are good, but this one is my preferred choice. This has a very film noir feel to it. Not that it isn't a great photo just as it is, but I am curious how it would look if you dodged the white of your eye a bit.

I love the photo but.... errmm.. who's arm is hanging from your mouth ;-) Eamonn

What was going on in that mind Ray? Love the half light very mysterious and moody! Did you forget to feed the cat? Very inspiring image!

Superb. Your mastery of light is inspiring.

Fantastic SP. With this treatment it looks a little bit like coming back from the coal mining factory. v

Guest		08-Mar-2006 07:22

What a strong image! Excellent tone and mood. The gaze makes me subconsciously bit my thumb too :P

Excellent treatment and mood to the shot. Reminds me a bit of the song Bitting My Nails by Renegade Soundwave.

Guest		08-Mar-2006 01:15
Love the shadows in this shot. Just barely able to see your one eye is perfect!

Guest		08-Mar-2006 00:53
You look in deep thoughts. I like the light, that undesrscore the eye, and the bring our attention exactly were you want to. Excellent.

jude		08-Mar-2006 00:24

ooo very very moody, this is superb, but I am worrying now as to what the matter is... v>

Gail Davison		07-Mar-2006 21:16
Don't bite that thumb off Ray - you'll need it to hold your pint at the pub!

JW		07-Mar-2006 21:13
... another PAD! Strong, moody image

Scott Browne		07-Mar-2006 21:12
For some reason I like this one better than the b&w. Seems to be a more powerful image. Excellent job.

Faye White		07-Mar-2006 19:50
p.s. I wish I could pull this off. :)

beverley harrison		07-Mar-2006 19:47

I like this one the most, very moody. And about what is he thinking? IS it making him nervous because biting the nails.
