Branden, excellent self portrait! I am really surprised you have no volunteers to have their pictures taken. I would volunteer but I'm afraid we have a distance problem.

This is quite a spectacular shot TY. I don't know if this is a sensible comment, cos I'm not into portraits, but I like the gentle change from dark to light as the eye travels across the picture and creates a dark and somewhat sombre mood. I could come and pose for you if Duane can't, cos unlike him distance is not a problem, only money! Thanks for this. It's great. PAUL

What great lighting! Very nice self-portrait. So sharp, and great textures and colors. I think that reflector might be a keeper!

Nice job with the reflector. I know you'll put it to good use.
