Me Portrait 2

Home.

This is the colour version of the me portrait posted in Eligible, post processed B & W image. This is a typical 'traditional' type portrait, certainly not very creative? I felt so vain and embarrassed to post this one so felt the need to distort it somewhat?

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/15s f/2.8 at 30.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Ahhh, smooth! This is a really nice shot, Bob. Good to give to the wife/kids as a present. Cheers, -mikey

Thanks Mikey, I'm torn between them because this one is traditional and not very creative but it is academic anyway because there are much better posts in eligible so it is not a matter of winning or losing? I really appreciate comments and suggestions because that is going to make me a better photog. Might even be good enough one day perhaps to post a winner. In the meantime I realy enjoy participating and meeting folks with a shared interest. Best regards, Bob (P.s... applied a little NR to the background, it was noisy, thanks for the tip.)

G'day Bob, .. I know what you mean about the vanity bit. It's hard to make yourself the center of your own attention, (in public), eh? As for the pic, I actually prefer this one to the treated one, ...what can I say? ...it's a classic. If I were you, tho, I'd switch 'em. Also, on this one, a NR processing is in order, IMhO. Warm fuzzies, -mikey
