Me AJ [ 9th Place ] by Canon DSLR Challenge

Not quite what I wanted, but eh,
I haven't another model available.

PS was toning, a slight gaussian blur, and framing.

other sizes: small medium original auto

This is a great head-and-shoulder-shot Angela! Feel like I've gotten to know you bit by bit - literally. Here we get a full frontal face with mouth and everything! ;-) Maybe a couple of challenges on, we will see you smile? [ Just teasing] When I was doing the post processing on my "Head & Shoulder" shot, I couldn't help thinking about how you would have done it - I'd imagine you would have treated it similarly to this one... --Olaf

One of the best images in here. It sure helps to have a beautiful and willing subject;) =Paul

Thanks iso, Karthik, Vikas, and Scott! To answer iso's question: it's a rice basket I bought last year at Pier 1 Imports :)

I just love your portrait work...the expression on your face is great.

Can't believe it's a Self portrait!! So natural, the pose. Very good effort, Angela! - Karthik.

I haven't another model available - Oh well, we all have to work with what we've got :p .... Seriously, I like the heavy contrasts and whiteness of skin here. Strong eyes make me tilt my head a bit. What on earth are you leaning on? An all round pleasing effort. As per normal.
