almost looks like a half of face shot :)

King said 411 days ago:

Hey, Heath. I think you've nailed the tonal values on this iteration of this photo. I like the crop better, too, although this type of crop doesn't appeal to me.

Well done. High marks.

Montage said 411 days ago:

Tanja - is that a good thing or a bad thing?

And to answer everyone's question - yes, you have seen this shot before. I've posted different versions of it here and on vazaar. Following feedback received on both sites, I've changed the processing and crop once again.

Montage said 411 days ago:

Thanks King. I know some people tend to frown on reposting shots, but for me, that's part of the reason I participate here at WS and vazaar - to improve my photography and processing. By taking people's feedback on board, I think I've finally got this one right.

Ana said 411 days ago:

I really had to turn my monitor up and down to see the whole other side of your face...but it looks creepy cool!

King said 411 days ago:

Heath, I've reposted twice, both with significant improvements due to feedback, in my opinion.

I have no problem with folks reposting. At least one person had only two featured images (for a while), and they were both exactly the same photo. :>)

Ana said 411 days ago:

and I say...use a photograph as many times as you like!

Tanja said 411 days ago:

Montage, i was meaning that in a postive way :)since i've been doing alot of half facial shots this one appealed to be creative to me..seeing the whole face but then again not really.

Excellent! High marks! What a pity, that I can't shoot a quality portraits... My experience in this province of photography is very poor.

flipthom said 411 days ago:

I love the stark contrast and composition. I also like the fact that you're not looking directly at the viewer. Very well done.

Montage said 410 days ago:

Looks like I did finally get it right. Thanks everyone.

And with that, I'm off to Tasmania for a week. See ya!

Tasmania? You devil, you : )
I like this...very dramatic, and even a bit unsettling, sort of.
I agree, also, post a shot as many times as you want.
