Wonderfull shot! I admire the combination of portrait and an extended shuttertime. I presume you used a tripod, but how did you get that guy to stand so perfectly still for 15 seconds? That's hard, you know. Try to stand perfectly still for 15 seconds.

In other words... this is the best self portrait I've seen in a very long time.
Great Job.
I'm watching you.
Bye.

I love how the second a picture hosts an image of you, it recieves a good seven times the comments it normally does.

Oh, deviantART.

I like the lighting a lot. You've done a great job with the shadows and the long exposure to get the painted lights in the backround and that great flare. On yourself (the subject) you've also got lighting coming from the side that works really well to make you look less flat. I wish there wasn't that bit of flare over the mouth, but that's personal taste. Overall, great shot.

Thought it'd just be another livejournal plug (well, it was, but hey, work with me here). Am happy to say I'm pleasantly surprised! Beautiful lighting, not to mention the general concept put forth in the setting.

This a fantastic self portrait. The way you're hovering above the world speeding on below you in the night with the lights and everything is just....wow. Fantastic work. I actually found you through a link on livejournal. I'm glad I clicked on one of them for once.
