Hi All. This is a self portrait, I am the hairy one, taken with 1Dm3 + 100-400L. Converted to B/w with lightroom and the silver efex plugin from nik software.
Any comments or critiques welcomed - I am trying to improve.
Thanks
Murray

Looks like your eyes are open??? I think it would be more of an aww factor if you appeared asleep too.
I like it though. An awesome staged-candid shot ;)

Great capture, I like the two recommendations posted so far and agree they would add to the image feel. Congrats.

Hi - Thanks everyone for your comments. All taken on board. I will lighten the babe and see what it looks like.
Cheers

It was handheld - she (his mother) was complaining about how heavy my camera was compared to the boy. Just the 100-400 was heavier than him when it was taken.
This why my eyes were open, she has my brand new lens, I've got her brand new baby, and trying to give instructions on what buttons to push.
