I really need a tripod! LOL, typical "myspace" photos using my arms to stretch out! ha!

Nice!....dare I say...sultry. :D I like the short-hair look better. (Saw your profile on your website)

Not bad! You almost have Yuri eyes:D

Wow, Bri. Very steamy for self portraits. Buy yourself a tripod and then get really creative!

Nice job Bri, especially considering that you are using the "myspace approach" to self-portraits. :D One thing that stands out is that the your eyes, at least in the first photo, are not quite sharp. I don't know how you set you set your focus point (which is always difficult in self-portraits) but you want to try reversing the focus by extending your arms and holding up a finger, focus on the finger, lock focus and then extend the camera away from to take the shot.

You are very pretty. :tuesday I like 1 and 2.

Your left eye looks like it's in the process of opening or closing in #3, maybe because of the missing catchlight. They all look slightly out of focus.

Man, Travis you are smart! I never would have thought of that.

Brishay- I love these. And yup, you are a stunner. Now add some contrast to these photos and show off those good looks even more!

Wow, what a simple but wonderful idea! That is great! Thanks!

Thanks everyone.

I have never been accused of that before :rofl Maybe I should forward this on to my parents... "see mom and dad, after 39 years someone finally noticed" :rofl Now I have to go back to staring at the wall and drooling on myself.
