About the Image(s)
To introduce myself in this new group, I thought I would start with a self portrait (so you can all see what I look like) but don't let that hamper your critique of the image.
I'm here to learn - and since I am relatively new to photography there are lots of ways to improve.
This image was part of a series - for a competition (that I did not win) - and was my first attempt at taking pictures of me; it was taken literally over the dining room table.
My aim with this crop was to realize a "minimalist portrait". The original has me staring at a glass of wine, but I felt that the essence of the person did not require props.
Canon EOS 6D Mark II - TAMRON SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD MACRO1:1 - f7.1 1/4 ISO100 - tripod - remote trigger.

Very nice portrait of you in deep thought. It is well composed and sharp. I like that your hat has added a frame to your face.   Posted: 05/05/2021 11:58:45
