Not on theme but...

Sticking to my theme. Kicking off the new year- 2008!! This year I want to do more with my camera, be more creative and take more chances. Only the 3rd day and I'm already off topic. This is me though- I'm going to strive to take more pictures, take one a day and not just settle for one because it fits the theme (not that I don't want to be on theme, I just need to push myself) I need to be more creative, actually learn how to use my camera and step outside my box. SO what do you think? TFL!!

I think it's a great idea...and I think you have gorgeous eyes!

April Ziegler said...

Nice! I've never tried a self portrait... yours is very cool!

Trina said...

Love it! I wish I could be more creative, something I am going to strive to be throughout this POTD challenge.

I love this kind of selfportrait! You did an awsome job!

cherie said...

wonderful self portrait . very neat perspective.

lol! I'm bad about being on theme...and I'd HATE to see a close up of myself like that ;) I like my eyes but that is it (skin and eyebrows and other faults LMBO there would be lots of pping! LOL)

Wow--neat way to do a self-portrait! Very clever.

I like the composition and the colors look good! The focus seems to be on the hair, though...just a little lower--on the eyes--and this would have been an even better shot!

Michelle said...

wow. so sharp! great job.

You have very pretty eyes! Creative shot - way to think "outsie the box", keep it up and you'll be surprised at what you'll come up with! Oh, and cute "superman" from yesterday! Love the hat!

Very nice photo, and you do have beautiful eyes. Did you do this with a tripod and remote, or. . . how?

Did you use a tripod? Pretty eyes.

Melissa said...

As mentioned, focus fell more on your hair than they eyes. Love the idea!

Mom2Drew said...

I'm a big out of the box kind of person so I applaude you. Themes are meant to be broken;)

Patti said...

Nice shot - love the crop, like sme mentioned the focus is a little soft on your eyes.

Val said...

I like it. Cool focus on the eyes.

Sue said...

Very creative - love the crop - you have beuatiful eyes!

Becky said...

Nice self portrait. If we had to stay on theme, I'd never get a picture done.

Ashley Hiskes said...

Wonderful self portrait!

Tori said...

I'm not very good at sticking to the theme either! Good for you for stepping out of the box! Neat shot!

Mandy said...

Love the crop on tihs.

Debbi said...

We can be "off theme" together! :) Great crop - very creative!

Jen said...

I need to be like you... step out of the box!

Liz said...

You have B E Autiful eyes! I really like the crop you did here and the colors are skin tones look really nice. The only CC I would have is that the focus is more on your hair then your eyes, but if you were taking this yourself it was probably pretty hard to tell exactly where the focus was. Great Job and super creative!

Jess said...

I love this! It is so unique and fun! Your eyes are gorgeous girl! :c)
