Curious? *

I wanted this photo to reflect the curiosity of the subject as well as the curiosity of the viewer.

Great job Jano. Self portraits ain't easy and you've done it well.

The face does look better now but I can't make up me mind on the crop...........Just made up me mind, it does look better:-)

Nice job. I like this photo even more now. The crop works really well, and the contrast is enough to keep me and Rod? happy.

Thanks for the comments Rod and Techo. Cropped some off the right, slightly more contrast added to face, and resized. Hopefully this makes for a better photo. jano

Very good shot Jano it works really well for me. I even like the lack of contrast in the face for some reason, maybe with all the contrast in the white sheets it gives the face a special quality.

Yep, I'm wondering what's going on. The hand can be the subject's or someone elses. Is the woman afraid or shy. Not an easy photo to expose for with all this white, I think this one looks good. *If I may suggest, crop off a little off the right side and resize the photo a bit smaller, preferably smaller than 800x600 so it will be viewed more easily. PBase's resizing algorithm isn't as good as if you resize and sharpen the photo yourself. A little more contrast to the face would've been nice, but that's just a personal preference. Upping the contrast for the whole photo would mean some of the white's would be blown but can be done carefully.
