Self portrait

Description

This may be the hardest portrait ever to take. I ran back and forth about 50 times making adjustments. I think that is why my expression looks so pained. I won't be taking a self portrait again. lol

Hi David thanks for commenting. Your seeing fatigue and frustration from me running back and forth trying to get a shot! LOL ----I bought a cable release after this attempt at a self portrait! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great evening.
