Awesome closeup - nice 'whiskers'. Do you also have a full length body shot? Just curious as to what the rest of the musketeer looks like :) Esther #6695055Michelle Alton November 02, 2008

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 #6699285Joan 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!! #6700113Ulysses 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
