Default Self Portrait........... Inspired by Leon Russell
It's been a while since my last post here. Sorry, life kinda got in the way. I hope to be around a wee bit more in the future.

It's also been a while since I've shot with my White Lightnings. It was a Sunday morning, enjoying a Bloody Mary and jamming with Leon Russell, Leon Live to be exact. Well, when the Jumping Jack Flash/Youngblood medley queued up, I let my hair down so I could plays me some air-piano. Thinking back on the old album covers and promo photos, this was the result.






Shot with Nikon D700 & 85mm f/1.8.
Aperture - f/7.1
Shutter Speed - 1/160s
ISO - 200


Thanks for looking. Comments welcomed. Critique appreciated.

Thanks Sis and Amy. For a while I thought this was going to be an abject failure. It may still be for others, but one never knows without trying. Thanks again for commenting.

I also love it! Very well done. It belongs on an album cover for sure!

Fantastic image. The coloring really works here. If it were me I would Photoshop out the little black spot on the forehead because it distracts from the overall effect.
