Thanks Larry. As I explained to Randy, I agree with the suggestion.

Randy. I sat and stared and changed and stared some more for hours with this photo. It just looked so plain on its own. I ended up putting the smaller version to break the monotony. I didn't feel it was strong enough to stand on its own. I agree that maybe a different angle in the smaller image would have had more of an affect. Thankyou so much for your advice.

Kurt, you are very sweet. Thankyou so much for the lovely gift. I am not familiar with that franchise.
The man in the study is a friend of ours. He never stops smiling, so I was pleased to get this image where he isn't actually physically smiling. Although his eyes give it away. It was his birthday the day I took that image, so he had reason to be smiling but had just cooked us a BBQ, so was probably a bit tired. I couldn't resist seeing if I could get the impossible from him in the way of NO SMILE..LOL!!

Judi,
I like this portrait, the direction of his gaze, tilt of the head a bit and the sepia. Good work!!
Small pic adds to it, but I too would like a different expression, pose, the mirror/flipped image distracts I feel.

Judy, I think you did a great job on this portrait. The reflection in the eyes add life and to me don't distract. I think that the smaller reversed image doesn't really add to the picture and would have been better to have it be a different pose. Very good tone and lighting.

With all due respect to Ameed, I actually like the flash reflection in the eyes. To me they add a sparkle of life and create a focal point. My eyes were drawn to his immediately. Guess that goes to show how we all see things differently, huh?
You've captured an intriguing expression here, one not easily defined. The sepia toning and rugged texture of his face along with the far-off look in the eyes create a truly compelling image. I see a sort of satisfaction in his look, like a tough job well done...
The portrait certainly stands on its own without the smaller reversed image below. But that would be far too ordinary for our dear Judi. You've once again pushed the limits and stretched our imaginations to see beyond the surface. This is indeed an image to study. : ) Kurt
Oh, btw, here's a little gift for you to show your family and friends (or is that mates?) America's little piece of Oz. They have excellent shrimp on the barbie and lots of wonderful 'fair dinkum' as they call it. Hope you enjoy it.

Very nice portrait Judi, i like it allot, creative, original and i like the framing allot, the only thing that i don't like '' this is of course my humble opinion '' is the flash reflection in the eyes, i am sure you can work it out, and then you can decide which one is better, very good work and keep up, regards,

Thankyou dear Teunis. It was difficult to know what to do with this image. But hopefully this has worked.
