If this is a self portrait, you look different to your other one

I don't think this one offers as much to the viewer as your other self portrait/man with umbrella does either but it is still nicely done

Yeah, it's me again, a just woken up me, but me all the same

kenco_uk · 16th Feb 2008, 16:21

I like it!

Buzzons · 16th Feb 2008, 17:45

what's with the knife

Naked_Dave · 16th Feb 2008, 18:27

I much prefer this one to the other... it seems almost plausable!

Firehed · 17th Feb 2008, 04:59

You have a funny obsession with knifing yourself.

Brett89 · 17th Feb 2008, 08:25

That's a great picture, i just love the theme, or how it fits it.

Mother-Goose · 17th Feb 2008, 18:03

I didn't even notice the knife this time! lol

Very nice. Much more obvious than the first one. A bit less dramatic style though.

May I ask how many shots it took you to get to this?

Just 4, I was just messing around though.

Nice messing around then!

Smilodon · 18th Feb 2008, 00:02

Great shot!

The knife should stand out more, though. May I suggest some subtle, selective coloring on just the knife?

supermonkey · 18th Feb 2008, 19:28

I like this one better than the first attempt. In this one, I can clearly see how 'reflection' plays a role, and the knife stands out much better (although the knife was clear to me in the original attempt). The fact that you're the one hiding behind yourself is a nice touch, too.

Very good work there!

Great work there Yoda, I'd been pondering something very similar myself. Dammit now I have to think of something else quick by Monday.
