Ulysses, you are just brimming with talent! What a wonderful shot. I love everything about it! I'd like to see this in B&W and SEPIA, too. Did you try them? If so, did they turn out this wonderful, as well? I agree with Lonnie! 100%. :) -Laura #6699285

Joan E. Hoffman November 03, 2008

Have to agree with Lonnie, UV, This is indeed one of the BEST portraits I have seen. Awesome job my friend!! #6700113

Ulysses A. Villamin November 03, 2008

Thanks a lot for the awesome responses, everyone!!! Modesty aside, I made this image on a relatively 'bad day'. I was kind of upset about somethings and quite bored. I tried to get rid of that boredom by opening images to work on my entry for the day. I have tried a lot of images but I don't seem very much 'in tune'. I was strugling to come up with a 'concept'. I just feel really bored and felt I want to do a different routine or something like that.

After trying to play with a lot of my pictures, I came up with this image and thought I would mess it up. Fortunately, it turned out this way! I, too, was excited on the result!

It really feels good that you, guys, enjoyed it to. I appreciate all the wonderful comments!!! #6703219

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 03, 2008

When stressed, flip it over to MICRO and take some fun little close ups. Try it.

So glad you did what you did with this one little Bro! CHIN UP, okay? :) xo-Sis
