I think its time for another self portrait.

The person on the left looks like Michael Jackson...

Mmm not one of my favourites of yours David sorry.

i agree with the comment before mine. michael jackson =S

I like the composition and I like how you have combined the photos. But it's just not exciting, I guess. I'm not a fan of the bluish hue.
And why is hte shutterspeed at XXXX?

There is a certain scariness to these images. Spooky. Make me want to run away.

Sysagent: it's not one of my favourites either - it's been a rather lean week so far.

Saito: thanks, I've corrected the shutterspeed.

what are those neon(ish) blue lines? they're too distracting for my liking to be honest.

Kinda spooky, but I like it!

Not my most favorite shot your yours Dave. This is more interesting than the other shot you showed though.

It's interesting to see how you manage to save a not so appealing shot and turn it into a bold composition. Well done once again! :-)

Interesting montage. Not sure if that's your doing on the way it was, but it is most interesting. Kind of makes you focus on the details and then on the actual face.

Hi Dave. Strange post this evening. It recalls the work of some Italian painters (Modigliani, may be). Anyway, even if it's not one of your best, I think that it's very interesting the final image you have obtained from the original one (that in your shoes I would have trashed, probably).

Now, the question is: how much you spend on a shot before deciding that it's not worthy? Do you always give them a chance? (Weird questions for weird post... ;)

marco: I don't think there's a straight answer to your question, but I would guess that I convert about 1 in 10 from RAW files of which somewhere between two and four get posted on chromasia. My hit rate, in terms of posting, is around 1 in 30 of the original shots.

very good details, nice texture

The quality of the images reminds me a bit of Vermeer... anyone else see it?

freaky :|

Interesting shot. The lack of too many colours is actually making this picture quite powerful.

David, I wonder how long you 'age' your shots. I tend to keep mine for at least 1-2 weeks before I decide whether or not to post them. Sometimes I ask others or my kids. Funny as what seems like a 'so so' shot to me is often the one others like quite a bit. The opposite is true as well. I'd like to hear how you decide....

For this shot I always thought 'triptych' was three, I see four distinct panels. I like this image, in that it is much more art/painting like than photograph. In this case I prefer not to view the original, as what you've presented is what I'm 'reviewing.' Besides, it will just make me jealous of your post processing powers! Much better than yesterday's shot for sure.

I believe that this image is something I would look at time and time again, much like a piece of music that isn't immediately accessible, but over time becomes more and more dramatic to me, the viewer.

great pano masters has hit again the center of the cible !

very creative combination!

I like this a lot, but then I'm a bit of a fan of polyptychs.
I'd go with Mark on this is more a quadtych than triptych

This is a nice series. I especially like the cross-processed look and texture you've applied.

Thanks everyone.

I really like how you look at things and see them in such a different perspective. Nice image and great execution.

I agree with those who comment that it looks more like a painting; it's very expressive and the ensamble of several angles of the same subject transmits a feeling of introspective and reflection.

Certainly interesting. On first sight I thought maybe it was a processed shot of a real person, if you see what I mean?
