I really love this one. Great idea to use the blinds and the low key effect on the subject. I am not seeing a window frame here, but I'm not anal about stuff like that. One of my challenge favorites. Good work.

I love the other self-port. of yourself. Especially the glasses. You have that focused stare that adds so much to your images. not to mention you look like Sean Connery.

I think black and white would have been the right choice here 8

Fantastic!

Not bad, like his expression and the lighting but I totally think he should be sharper, his face needs to be clearer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/30/2006 05:27:32 AM
it seems like the original photo was a bit underexposed. but I like it anyway! the lines are very nice, and you've managed to capture the personality of this person very well. bumping to 8!

One of the few I have come across thus far that used louvres effectively. They are a little too bright, but not enough to do damage. Overall, well done.

Great picture. That looks like Sean Connery.

The harsh white lines truly create a sense of separation. Nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2006 05:52:54 AM
Very effective, reminds me of an old western movie with Clint Eastwood! Great duotone usage.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/29/2006 04:23:25 AM
Looks like you put these white stripes into the photo. But I don't know if that is true so I will wout on tis like you have not added it in after. Good portrait

Great use of lighting and shadows, which sets up a nice mood. The slats across his face gives this an air of mystery that really adds a lot to the photo.

Nice composition and use of light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A unique take on the theme, I think your within the rules so no dedeductions from me. I really like this photo and the exposure is excellent.

Great use of lighting and b&w here. The framing works perfectly to make the subject and his expression more compelling.

Cool. I like it. Nice composition, contrast and duotone.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/24/2006 06:28:30 PM
This is a wonderful shot, the look on the man's face is very intense but not over bearing, very nice. I like the window blinds coming across and while not your normal "framing" per say, very unique and thoughtful. When I ran through them last night at lightening speed I had this at a 7 but I'm raising it to a 9, well done.

Nicely captured image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/24/2006 06:28:42 AM
Great idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/24/2006 03:45:07 AM
ohhh this is good... I like the sharp cuts across his face by the blinds and allthough you cannot see the 'window frame' I know its a window and have scored it thus, excellent -8-

I withdrew my image because there was no frame to the window and submitted another shot, I hope the voters are being kind.

I know you!!!!! Nice with the stripes from the blinds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2006 09:08:01 PM
Wonderful contrast between the blinds and the subject. I enjoy the black and white.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/23/2006 08:54:54 PM
Very dramatic and intense. Nicely done. Like how the left side of the face fades to black.
