Tanja said 512 days ago:

so what are those 6 highlights on your head? :)

Ana said 512 days ago:

well, you already know how I feel about this shot.

King said 512 days ago:

Great expression. I like the Captain Picard hairdo. I may wear my hair like that before too long. Good work.

bslomovic said 512 days ago:

Nice one Craig.

VernonTrent said 512 days ago:

this is such a great and amicable expression.
I like it a lot.

cheers :-))

bioLarzen said 512 days ago:

I'm truly sorry I can't give more than 25 for you - whoever you are :)

Everything i might possibly fall for with a self-portrait is present here. Straightforward, still there is something mystical in that look. The tones and especially the contrast is superb.

Very well done.

bioLarzen said 512 days ago:

Wow, Craig, why did I always picture you as someone much-much younger???

Seems we're about the same generation :)

CraigMartin said 512 days ago:

Doh! after the comments on Vaazar, I edited those pesky hightlights out, but then uploaded the original again here...But thanks for the comments all.

@Gabor/bioLarzen - so you are in your 20s too?! ;-) I am curious as to why you thought I was younger - was it the youthful vigour of my photography, or the immaturity of my commentary?

mtmartini said 512 days ago:

Craig, I know Ana likes this image of you but I find it makes you look evil, not the brother I know. High marks though.

King said 512 days ago:

Craig...Tracy is your sister? Very cool! You guys come from a very talented family. Is there a third Martin with a camera lurking about?

mtmartini said 512 days ago:

@King, she can't get the camera up past her big (pregnant) belly. :-)

Sorry Craig, didn't mean to out you. I forget that some people actually read these comments. ;-)

kadenajack said 512 days ago:

I think I've seen this one before, maybe at Vazaar. I think I'd prefer just a little more light on the dark side of the face. Aside from that very nice work. High marks.

CraigMartin said 512 days ago:

@Tracy - yes, I guess I had a sneer because this was taken for the "in you face" theme in Vaazar. I'll try a lovable brother expression for the next one :-)

@King - Kyla is the third of the brood on here, in the interest of full true and plain disclosure of conflict of interests...

eggplant said 512 days ago:

I like the dramatic lighting and the warm tones.

George said 512 days ago:

One tough looking character. Well done!

George said 512 days ago:

Aha! So now we know about the nefarious Martin Triad!! That's actually very cool. I'm glad to have learned of this, and look forward to going back to all of your previous submissions and comparing styles, etc.

This explains Brant's reference to "K" over on Tracy's submission for this theme. So how does Brant figure in this whole thing?

Again, Craig, a terrific shot. It would be cool if you all had featured shots for this theme! My ratings for y'all should help!

King said 512 days ago:

Craig...ah, Kyla. That fits. I would really enjoy it if I could have any of my six sisters and two brothers on W.S. I imagine that you guys enjoy it.

King said 512 days ago:

...and I second George's sentiments.

bslomovic said 511 days ago:

@Geoerge > Brant fits into it this way, has been great friends with Kyla for almost 19 years. Through Kyla knows Tracy, although hasnt seen her in ages. Have yet to have the pleasure of meeting Craig.

bslomovic said 511 days ago:

(oops sorry for the mis-spelling George.)

CraigMartin said 511 days ago:

So, what do you have to do to get featured in this week's theme?? I have been sitting at 3.842 for almost a day, and still no feature!! The average scores must be way higher than usual...

King said 511 days ago:

Craig...you don't know? We send Brandon cookies!

beckn32 said 511 days ago:

I love the lighting on this. Nice expression.

dseguin said 511 days ago:

Heh, Brant got his wish! Well deserved to boot!

kyla said 511 days ago:

@ King- I would say there was no way I would get featured then because I am definitely eating all the cookies.
Congrats on the feature Craig.(and you got a compliment from Vernon that must be worth two features!)
The nefarious martin clan rides again...

Ana said 511 days ago:

kyla!! SHARE!!

King said 511 days ago:

Congrats, Craig!

mtmartini said 511 days ago:

Yeah! Who'd of thunk it. I guess that we have to credit dad in some way. Congrats Craig.

Ky you are too funny, you's that don't RIDE. ;-)

philippe said 511 days ago:

I knew this pic from Vazaar and I like it. Glad to add my congratulations.

CraigMartin said 511 days ago:

Thanks King, the FedEx'ed cookies did the trick ;-)

Thanks all for the kind comments.

VernonTrent said 511 days ago:

congrats :-)

it was the "magnetic hue" on this shot which made the feature. I had to klick on it to see it again and again. that made the feature: TRAFFIC :-))))

any cookies left? plain, please. the frosting are for ana :-))

VernonTrent said 504 days ago:
