Is it your beard? Very impressive both as a beard and as a picture

I'll try a different shirt and possibly different angles. By the way, the shirt and the design on it has a lot of history behind it http://the-light.com/vector.html for a glimpse). And my beard naturally forks like this. I even have the nickname Victor Two Beards with a couple of my friends. So, although the picture is posed, it's very typical. -- Victor

Victor, I like the beard the best. I think you should play up the different angles of it. Not sure the image on teh shirt is working. Might suggest a plain white t shirt. Just a thought, but I think you are on the right direction. theFly

I like the idea and the clever title. I'm not sure the design on your shirt helps from the point of view of composition. It might look better upside down, but of course you can't wear the garment upside down. Cute idea though and worth doing though.

I'm not really satisfied with this. I find self portraits to be very difficult. For one thing, with each attempt, the subject must be repositioned afresh. No minor adjustments are possible. Furthermore, a preview is not really possible either. Composition, etc. must be done mainly in the mind. -- Victor
