you wanna piece of me?

for *get pushed* this week, AC (@3rdxoff) challenged me to create an image which reflects me (personality, lifestyle, roles, etc.) without actually me being in the picture... i don't take direction well ;p

I have no idea if this *works*... but c'est la vie folks!

(i expect this will look better large on black)

tx for the continued views, comments and favs... i feel as tho' i've been slacking off a bit lately and i appreciate it you sticking with me :)

[☠northy]

@3rdxoff hmmm... i doubt this is the kind of thing you were thinking of... and to be honest, i had a completely other idea in mind when i started... but this appears to be where i ended up ;p

[☠northy]

@lynnb @masosy sorry guys... i needed to tweak something and so i took down the original image :(

[Maggiemae]

Aha, so this is a tweaked Northy! I can see the camera, your horse chess piece is it? Your eyes too look questioning!

[Carla]

I'm always thinking of something cinematic with your photos -- this looks like a movie poster with Jodi Foster who is going to get to the heart of serious crime matter. So cool!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Tracy]

Very cool :D

[Aleksandra]

Very cool with a mystery about it which I really like!

[joey d.Muli]

[Jess]

Definitely works! Very very cool.

[AC]

@northy Actually, I think it is a wonderful interpretation of the challenge. I love the processing and of course the camera. Well done! Now to click the fav and follow buttons! Have a great weekend.

A very interesting image. Nice one

Love the eyes

[Sally Ings]

Of course it 'works'. Love all the subtle nuances and it looks just brilliant large!

Fascinating. I do like pix that me look at them for a good while.
