Selphie

I am not much for portrait photo's In fact I avoid em like the plague..But it is Christmas and I received a new Stetson from the wife.. So I took this selphie. The original had the tree etc but I like this edited version best.. Gave me something to do today besides veg in front of the tube..

Now if I could just catch that damn horse of mine

Nice hat. Fits you well. Giddyup.

Looking good! Got a bit of glare on the glasses, but you do that hat proud!

Look's like the hat was made for you, fits well

Looks good!! Good luck on the horse!

Where's the rope?

Yes the glare is there. I really have no idea how to photo shop the glare out. I have a UV filter on that lens, so it looks like I am going to be purchasing another polarizing filter. Thanks for the kind words. The horse is in the barn staying warm and dry today, as am I.

A photographer looking through the viewfinder can easily see the glare, and then just a slight tilt or turn of the head will eliminate it. A selfie makes that impossible, but a few tries at slightly different angles should work. Check your results and try again... Or could move the light a little. I think a polarizing filter might be the hardest possible way for a portrait, you can't see that either. The reflection does not help it, but it's a quite good picture.

Clone a little eyebrow over and a little cheek up and glare begone. Would be better with a higher res pic to start.

Hat, glare, horses, rope be damned!
Has anyone seen that impressive beard?

Nice pic . Captures you well indeed.

In retrospect, I shoulda had my camera set to large/fine. I had it on small/fine.. I have since rectified that and will just leave it there for all shots and not worry about filling up my card. Thanks to all for the advice etc.
