 Going out of my comfort zone again. Took a self portrait. Still try trying to get the lighting/white balance down. Definately a struggle. I had intended to use my daughter in the photo but she was too busy yacking with her friends so I started taking shots of my self in various poses. I settled on this one. Didn't realize at the time that this pose was saying to the viewer Don't Get Close To Me. My friend robinsong gave me the title. She felt that my eyes were pleading. Well that is the truth. I was pleading that some shot I would took would come out. I hope it worked.

It worked. With only about a third of your face showing, there is still clearly emotion showing. A brilliant job of the lighting. A seriously underated entry in my opinion.
