Another self portrait - I'm not conceited, really! lol. I used natural light through the window, mid afternoon, no flash setting. Used PSCS2 for some edits including a diffuse glow, color correction, and surface blur.

Do you live anywhere near OHIO? we have got to get you in front of my camera! I would have a ball with your face. Wonderful bone structure and this portrait rocks! #3215547Karolyn R. Moltzan August 26, 2006 0
Wow, I am so flattered! THANK YOU! I'm not real close to Ohio - I'm in western North Dakota. :P If for any reason we ever come down that way, I'll be sure to get a hold of you! lol. Thanks, again! #3215554Chastity Abbott August 26, 2006 0

Karolyn, good work. You've reinforced the reason I DON'T do self-portraits. There are too many beautiful people around to bother trying to make myself look good :-) Fortunately for you you are one of those photogenic people and a great photographer to boot! Congrats on finalist.regards, Graham #3220659

Just a short note. My original comments were made before I knew it was a self portrait. btw... my personal gallery info is not appearing for some reason. Check out my site for something different. I live in Baja and just love it. http://bajawild.net #3351523Karolyn R. Moltzan September 24, 2006 0
Thank you very much, Doug! I really appreciate your comments. I will be sure to look at your site. #3351650Roger Fry September 26, 2006 0

Karolyn, I would like to know if I could possibly do a pencil sketch of this self-portrait. I love it so much and I think a drawing is in order for this one. Let me know if I could use this picture as a reference. #3605450Karolyn R. Moltzan November 20, 2006 0
Stacy, I would be honored! I'm so excited to see it! You're an awesome artist, so I'm sure it'll be phenomenal. Thank you! #3605469Stacy L. Robertson November 20, 2006 0
Great! When I finish it, I will definately post it as soon as possible, then I'm gonna mail you the original as a Christmas present. #3605494Karolyn R. Moltzan November 20, 2006 0
Thank you so much, Stacy! I would really appreciate that! However, if you want to keep the original, I would buy a print from you! #3607841Stacy L. Robertson November 20, 2006 0
Well, lets put it this way, if it looks like you and you like it, we will work something out. How about that? LOL. I hope it looks like you or I'll have to retire my pencils. #3608944Karolyn R. Moltzan November 20, 2006 0
LOL! Judging by the other sketches I've seen, I'm not too worried about whether it will look like me or not! But, yeah, that sounds good! #3608965Donna La Mattino Pagakis November 21, 2006 0
