Artist's Comments

My fake rose and I. What a pair.

Self-portrait assignment for my Photo One class last term. Shot with my Pentax MX.

There was no conceptual thought behind this shot, it just "is".

Enjoy. I am open to constructive critisism and thoughtful critique, though I am not asking for it.

this has a very illustrated quality to it, which really seems to add to the personal touch of a self portrait. and i love the flower "blooming" from the eye.. i can twist that one really well in my head.. or see it for it's simple beauty even. either way works for me :D

your very pretty! i like how its nice and bright, and the shine on your bottom lip. it'd have been nice to have the same shine in your eye. but its a very good shot!

I like the contrast between the soft skin and flowy hair against the edgy rose and straight lines in the background.
I do find a distraction in the bottom left corner. . . the edge of a hand? The bottom right edge (bright white) yanks the eye away from the beautiful subject.

Nice shooting angle, and I enjoy the position of the rose. Very pretty eyes. . but you knew that already.
