I have ALL of these different pairs of sunglasses, and I thought I should use them for something... So, I plan to utilize a different pair each day for at least the first two weeks of this side challenge. We'll see where it goes after that.

A really casual, relaxed smile in this one.

You have the Gregg Allman look when he was younger. Nice smile and cool glasses.

Oh Jimmy, Yayyyy! I'm not in this challenge, but I looooove your self-portraits. I'll be checking often to see your creative art in action :)

Off to a great start!

You look at ease in front of the camera. Wonder what you smiling at over there to your left.

Great expression and clarity. It comes across candid even though we know it was a setup shot. Great job.

You are looking so smashing these days and looking really so good in this casual portrait.

Awesome focus and expression. You are having way too much fun. Thanks for the compliment. If you get a chance, take a look at my rodeo shots and tell me what you think. I know you like to shoot these as well.

You always have such fun with your SPs! I love all the different looks you achieve. This one looks like you are engaged with someone just off camera and having a grand ole time. Lots of emotion and perfect B&W.

I like it. The reflections, the BW, it's fun and friendly.

I'd have cropped a tad off the top for balance, though.

I love it! I would have preferred a little more space on the bottom, but overall great sp!!!

You just look so....cool, that's all there is to it. I love your hair, and yes the glasses do add a nice element. I think I would have preferred a slightly longer crop at the bottom. I guess it feels awkward that your neck is cut off, maybe it's cause of the beard. Awesome lighting, and great bw too.

A great relaxed feel to this. I wish I could get that feeling across in my sp's. I will definitely try during this month. Like Midhelle has already mentioned, I like the eyes through the glasses look. The reflections couldn't be better placed.

I love the lighting in this. The overall brightness is something I'm gonna try and achieve without a studio set-up (ha!) Great smile and I love how you can see your eyes thru the glasses.

Whoah, you in this thing?! I guess I should check that list in the thread. :-P This is a great Jimmy shot as usual... in my opinion it makes for a nice counter-balance to that grungy first self portrait you posted in the "faves" thread. This is cool, relaxed, centred. Nice.
