The Other Side of the Lens

I'm not big on portraits, let alone self portraits. I liked the B/W better than the color version. I thought I'd share this anyway but I think I'll practice a whole lot more before I get into portrait photos.

Great portrait it looks good in B&W. I like the backdrop it fits the image well. If you don't mind I would like to try the Lucis Effect on this image.

Awesome portrait!!

I wonder if it would look good in sepia, you know he looks like he could be a soldier of the civil war on his horse...Well done

Thanks! Maybe I'll give the sepia a try and see how it looks.

Here it is Mile. It may look better if I did it from the color one. If you want me to try that get me the image. My email is fg1263@hotmail.com or just post it here.

For me the B&W really makes this photo historical looking. Nice self-portrait.

Thanks. It's amazing how sometimes B/W just works.

Frank, I love the color version. I played around with the color one, also, and used Topaz Adjust:
