Nice one.

I really like the way this is put together. It shows talent with a camera and photoshop/image editing software. Very creative, plus you look like a Sith lord.

I think what you've tried to do is wonderful, but the segments need to be more "unified"... either the way they're layed out, or perhaps the color could be more consistent. The 2nd photo from the top could have been a good slef-portrait by itself, but as one looks down the sweater and the pants, odd colors pop up, "separating" the images.

Either that, or a wider field of view would have been better.

Wow. I've been trying to find a nice way to express myself in a self-portrait, and this speaks to me. I may attempt this myself.

My eye travels from the harsh cool grey of the hood to the warm soft fabric of your pants. It's a nice color transition, and reads slightly left-to-right, up-and-down, obviously a natural way for a western eye to travel.

Great idea!

This is an idea that I've had in my head for some time. After I had finished this, I have ideas on how to tweak it. This is constructed from about 15 different shots all taken with my Lensbaby lens. I never, though, wanted this to be seemless, nor did I want this to be a wider view of myself...that wasn't what I was trying to say or accomplish with this self portrait. The title for this is "My Fractured Self".

I this this is brilliant, the way each section doesnt look exactly like the other works really well, it would look strange if they were all the same colour, it wouldn't look 'fractured' like Otto said. Brilliant Self Portrait.

I like to come here and see new approaches. I think this works really well adn the "Un-unified" feel of it is what makes it all the more engaging in my opinion. Oh, and let's hear it for the Lensbaby!
