Day 281/365 SP Light And Shadow In Sepia
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things...
Phillippians 4:8
It is pouring down rain today which is supposed to last
for the entire day..This is a self portrait that I practiced on two days ago. I sometimes have a reserve in my stash
when the weather isn't the best:) I converted this one into sepia. I think it looks better in that tone than in color for this portrait...The sun cast its shadow and light on the stump behind me. Different lighting on this and I almost deleted it as there is a little shadow on my face... but then decided it had merit when I turned this into sepia and it was worth saving...It is symbolic of the light and shadow that we pass through in our life on earth..
