killing me softly

For the self portrait soft/hard theme


More playing with light and portraits - although not yet the ones I am supposed to be mastering!

This one, inspired by the talk from Gavin Hoey last week. His first demonstration was using candle light.

There is more of me in the colour version of this shot - here:

Nicely done

[Gayle]

Such a special image, Helen! Perfect title also. :-)

[Domenico Dodaro]

Great! Only downside is that now I will have the song and of "About a Boy", the book and the movie with Hugh Grant echoing in my mind all day long!

Haha, I didn't see you at first glance. Wonderful creativity and fav :-)

@onewing sorry I didn't answer you before Babs. Yes, he was at a local camera club meeting. Was very entertaining - but for a relative beginner like me - all was done so quickly. Nothing was pre prepared - he took and processed photos has he went along.
