This shot most certainly screams heat...it has a devilish quality to it. Yvonne

Hello :) I know and heard Phil Collins' work but didn't know he had an album titled 'No Jacket Required' so before I went and looked it up..' to me this photo says Heat in the means of confrontation. You see that determined stare and the red suggests you're flaming at your opponent. Go getem Paul! j/k. (*) Anyhoo, you might want to apply some Selective Color or Levels to the blacks in the background to get the background completely black, my old crt at work is bright but is missing a lot of contrast so I can see things in the shadows ;)

Thanks Shu! Your tenner's in the post. See Rod....just because you think i'm not Mr Sex doesn't mean bugger all.

V-e-r-y sexy, Paul! Shu

Rod		24-Jul-2005 11:03
If that's sweat why is it that you don't look sexy like Jano does?

Your name is Paul, but we can call you Phil? Can we call you Al? (Paul Simon).lol I agree with Rod, some sweat beads would add the "heat" is on. Hey, why not a flame overlay coming from bottom of image, than we'd really understand "why" you are so hot. I (*) also think a slight tilt of the head would add to the character. Markjay

I am sweating you idiot, what do you think the stuff running down me bloody nose is? Those shiny bits on my forehead too. Strewth, put your glasses on!

Even in red you're still a boofhead, some sweat would have helped on this shot....................I think. Good idea though mate.

Thanks Jano, Aam. Aam, that scarey look is my natural one, no wonder no one sits next to on the bus:>) Harris, thanks for the criticism, i agree on all points, i'd like it to be sharper, a reshoot tonight methinks.

Hey Paul - a couple of horns and you'd have the perfect look. :) The shadows on the face are great combined with the background. I'd be curious as how this would look without the red of the face and just the eyes - or (vice versa) with just the whites of the eyes showing. Couple of hot spots on the top of the nose and top of the hairline I would clone out. Otherwise, great intepretation of your "heat" and of Phil Collins album. I like it. jano

Poor execution. The image is too soft from no doubt a difficulty in holding a 2 second pose and the crop of your chin is too high. Use a higher ISO and faster shutter speed and shoot all of your head.

Hi Paul. You are referring to Phil Collins album, right. That guy is a musical genius. Like the photo a lot but you have a scary look, as if you are going to get us or something :) Still very nice shot.
