Shy
by Angela Johnson

Wanted to do a self portrait for this, but with a different feel from my usual.
This is also the image for today (1-16) in my Photo A Day gallery.

Canon EOS D60 ,Canon EF 100mm f2.0 USM

other sizes: small medium original auto

I'm amazed Peek got more than 4 times the vote as Shy. I like Shy quite a bit more. I personally like how the hair is arranged better in Shy, and I'm a big hair person. But it's more than just the hair. I also like the eye contact and the mystery that the large, dark expanse creates. This is lacking in the Peek picture where the hands cover up the darkness.

LOL yup it's me. I got my hair highlighted for the wedding and I really liked it, so I've kept it up. ;) -- angela :)

I like both of your entries but I like this one in particular...for the simplicity and flow. Very nice!

Thanks Olaf! The eye contact is what made me like this one a lot, too. -- angela :)

Very nice Angela! For a portrait I think I like this one the best of the two ("Shy" and "Peek") because I get eye-contact in this one. I do feel you've turned the titles around: You look more shy in "Peek", due to the lack of eye-contact, and this one is more like a peek to me. Not important though, both photographs are excellent! --Olaf
