My very first self portrait play! dont laugh

[ukglyn]

Fat, Bald, Ugly.. but hey i'm honest!

Oh well all, decided time was overdue for doing a self portrait for you all to see, I didnt want to use the normal portrait ways of smooting skin etc, just wanted an honest, as I really am type of look.

Well it will useful to scare your kids with if nothing else

Please be gentle with me lol.
thanks for looking
Glyn

Hiya Glyn how's Mrs Glyn? Hey buddy it's so nice to see you. And your none of the above. Your my friend inside and out. Thanks for sharing this Glyn.
Was that gentle enough.

Dave.

well you kinda look like me without the tattoos and the bald head. I might even be a tad uglier. I'd say we hit the drinking hole to celebrate our honest look and talk gear and bikes! On a side note....I found it with interest that as an Englishman, that you have a tattoo of a Native American......any particular reason why.....? BTW, You have a softer sensitive side too....I have seen it in your posts.....

No one is ever Fat, Bald, and Ugly. They are just themselves and that's what people like and respect in a person. I like it. The black and white tones assist in bringing the "you" out in the portrait. One thing I would have done is get rid of the shadow on the left. I think without it the portrait would be more dramatic. Great tattoo of the Indian on your right arm.

Nonsense, you look gentle and deep in thought...........ok, agreed, I make a point never to insult a 200lb Brummie with a deaths head tattoo as a matter of self preservation

I'd like to see the same against a dark background, just to see how it changes the mood of the pic........that or on your tummy on a sheepskin rug

Glyn, brave post my man! In all reality photography is about expressing one's self. That you have done, you accomplished your goal and I would say you did a very good job at that! Duane

Hi Glyn - did you say you have a new portrait of you? .. I must have missed it ... I just see you

[jennie]

Hi Glyn! interesting inks.. would love to know the stories behind them.

[SoxAddict]

Well I did laugh Glyn, but only when I saw what you'd written about yourself before the photo appeared! How can you say that!? You're adorable. Fabulous portrait shot though. You look very pensive. Patrick is very right too - we know the soft and sensitive side of you :-) And we love you very much. Plus, we know how you give Mrs Glyn flowers.....who couldn't love a guy who gives flowers to his lovely wife?

Thank you, the native indian is a tribe of people I have always looked up to from childhood years, so it seemed a fitting tattoo.

Thanks for looking, I did think of getting rid of the shadow, but changed my mind, might remove it and see how it looks, thanks for the compliments of tattoo
