High Eye

Get Pushed – Round 32

ODC March 14 – The Next Level

ODC March 18 – High Key

113in2013 5 – One Word - Eye

 

This Get Pushed-Round 32 challenge came from rafartreides2009 www.flickr.com/photos/rafdegeest2009/

He requested that I do a rather specialized self-portrait:

1. not the whole face, just half, or a bit must be visible (the eyes, or the chin with the mouth, or a side view)

2. no clothing in the image (which does not mean you have to be naked), not even glasses/spectacles, no make-up, just you, being natural

3. use your macro lens if possible

4. use natural light

 

In the past I've never liked nor wanted to be in front of the camera - for many reasons - but I've made a rather loose challenge to myself to try for at least one selfie a month this year. This challenge was perfect to help with this goal. I especially liked that it had the limiting criteria of partial nudity – "just half, or a bit must be visible" "no makeup". I’m not getting any younger and this type of a partial nude self-portrait works for me.

 

Thanks Raf.

ODC - I’ve been wanting to do something in High Key for a while now, and in conjunction with the Get Pushed Group Challenge this selfie caused me to try to get up to The Next Level. Not sure it really works as the eye is a bit higher than I wanted but it’s as close as I could get it.
