This was a nice picture in color - good lighting, before I started editing... But I sat down and just started playing without any certain end result in mind - and after a few different layers with different effects applied and such, I came up with this. I really liked the dramatic feel - rather than just gray, there's a lot of contrast with black and white. I really wasn't sure if I should put it in the Digital Darkroom or People, so we'll see how it goes. It was taken mid afternoon using natural light. Did my edits in PSCS2. (Oh, and yes, this is yet ANOTHER self portrait!)
