July 21, 2009 8:16am Nice, I love close ups! This is especially nice because it gives the viewers a glimpse of the artist behind the photos....the slight blur of the background makes this pic mysterious due to the long distance....also the edginess, the eye, the nice line-up of the hair and the face are an elegant work of art as it blends with the Black & White capture! This Self-Portrait is "Exquisitely" done!
