You are...scary.. :-O

This is great. Love it

Awesome creativity! Great lighting and framing. GL!

Loving it.. just hope the Mods latest comment doesn't get this removed tho'

Thank you for all your comments :x

TQ JEANIBLOG, I just read the latest mods comment. Actually, I just thought of being creative. I understood the goals for this contest and took the previous self potraits contest as a reference. Seems that it didnt matter whether the shot were half faced, blurred, darken etc. Therefore, I thought it would be OK if I covered half of my head. Also, ths pic has been posted before the mods latest comment which now requires the face must be clear

Awesome expression !!! ...and teeth!

yeah awesome expression !!! ...and er..hair!

wow... lots of teeth! The shot has great impact!

I should think this would be ok. It is a picture of your face, and even though it's partially obscured there's still quite a bit showing.

BRILLIANT!

TQ.. TQ,, TQ all for the comments. You are all very encouraging and funny. I should have thought of putting my hair on fire and brake a few teeth for a more dramatic effect

Cool - that would be extreme art lol

Fantastic shot author...one of the best in the contest for sure...Instant fav from me...well done

A well deserving placement. Congrats!

congrats!! Definitely well deserved indeed!

Beautiful lady,great lighting.
This angle tho makes the head look bigger than it is.Use this angle when you want to give a "small" feeling to something.
Any way...you are still very beautiful & i mean VERY beautiful.Great body pose & look.
Background is all so a nice choice (gives a romantic feeling).
Nice to meet you.

thanks karaflazz.
I was trying to emphasize on the face and hair at the time. May be I should've stood a little more back from the camera so it would'nt give me the "big head" look? right?
Thank you so much for the constructive criticism. I greatly appreciate any. : )

beautiful portrait &beautiful young lady

I like this angle, this contest is about creative portraits, and the angle makes this shot look even better, well done.

Um, not sure if I see how you have a bigger head but I will agree the background was a good choice.

Great, high marks from me.

Hi nice to meet you! great shot!

Great image, well done!

Beautiful photo....I tried this pose for mine....my arms hung low...and the neck (we wont talk about it) uggh... but you are beautiful and this photo is great!

:lol: i can't stop laughing about this one.
seriously, i guess this is where i have to ask..are you trying to compensate for something there??
at least you picked the right kinda camera. I

You still can't smile, do you? hehe

Men & their toys!! Lmao..
Great pose though..

Is that a camera in your hand or are you just happy to see me.

You are so funny jaws!

stud muffin ! nice pose and lighting here.

I perfectly remember a comment of mine for a shot of yours months ago. I'll repeat it:
"hahahahah.... and you want me to compete with YOU????"

This is a funny one, hahahaha well done my friend

Yeah, but look at the size of the lens hood! It's like stuffing a sock in your pants. (great shot, as usual)

Great on so many levels!

Intense

lol superb!

I JUST read the newest rumor flying around the internet!!! I'm not sure how believable it is, but it said that someone's sister's boyfriend saw this author smile once... in 1984!

Hahahahaha
.......but surely having one so BIG is worthy a smile???

So big, so black, great performance....about your Canon , of course! ...ha ha
Great image as usual!
Good luck!

cooool!

Congrats!

Very dynamic look...even if you are not looking at the camera.
Thats a hard thing to do.
