About I thought long and hard about whether to load this up! It's 'yours truly' I'm afraid! (Maybe I'll take it off again after a day or two!)

Taken by dear wife, Carole ~ she of 'The lonely walk?' fame! I cut it out, did a background in PS7, (that I know some will hate!), then created a frame. I like frames!!

The guitar belonged to my late father-in-law. He had a Vox semi-acoutsic for nearly 30 years that he sold a few months before he died to buy this Fender. He only got to play it some 5-6 times! That was over 2 years ago. My mum-in-law couldn't bear to part with it for a while, but decided it needed playing so gave it to me for a surprise Christmas present! It's awesome. I love it ~ and it's a great reminder of my dear father-in-law?

Best regards, Chris

Very nice to meet you Chris. Nothing wrong with the background in my opinion. I don't play guitar myself altough I have got a very old (more than 60 years) acoustic one of my mother who died two and a half years ago. From other people I always hear that the Fender guitars are great and I can imagine how much you love this one. About the portrait. It's excellent lighted and clear. I just love the color contrast with the red of the guitar and the frame is wonderful...Take care, regards Harry

Great picture. What a sharp guy playing the guitar and so young. The background looks like he is a rock star on stage. Nice to see you. Don.

Well Chris. You're a lucky person. Who wouldn't like a Christmas present like that?
Beautiful Fender. Mine has exactly the same colours as the background of this photo.
Why would you take this off? It's a cool photo and a nice way of introducing yourselves to UF users. Please to meet you! You rock!
Great work!

Yes, well, nice to meet you, Chris. I, er, won't say anything about the background and the frame. Please ignore the rather fixed smile on my face. Good to hear the story behind this guitar. I'm not sure about harps, but I have to believe heaven will have lots of music, and that your father in law will enjoy it more--if that were possible--as a result of loving and playing music while here in this world. I hope it works for me, anyway...

Glad to finally put a face to your name. You have been one of my very good friends here at usefilm and I look forward to getting back into photography soon. Hopefully you will see some new work very soon. Until then, happy shooting!!!!!!!!!!!111

Oooh Chris, so nice to meet you! :-)) I think it's so interesting to see photos of members, and I almost didn't see this one! Background... haha... well, yes it IS a bit vivid, but I like it. I think it's always good to have a personal style. what could maybe be even better with background is if you could give it just a little bit "colder" tones, so it looks like if the light is the same on you as on the background.

Hi Chris; so nice to "meet" the guy behind all those enjoyable high quality and uniquely UK photos. I have certainly enjoyed seeing your photos. As for this one, I don't care for that bright band of light behind your head?, but I like the rest of the background. Overall the photo is good and introduces you to UF, and I enjoyed the story of the Fender too-- used to play some guitar myself! Thanks, and Cheers. Craig

Hi Chris, nice to meet you! You did a good job on editing this photo. The background matches very well!! I like the way you look right into the camera and show us your face as it is! It takes courage to do that and to take a pose like "HERE I AM"! My compliments for your wife; she has done a good job! Please don't remove this picture of yours. It is good to know the face behind all that beautiful pictures you have made. Greetings,
Diana.
