Taken with the Tamron 28-75mm. Having fun with crash zooms and low-light exposures lead to me creating this rather unusual-looking self portrait, which I really like the effect of. I doubt the voters will agree, but that's something for them to worry about :o)
The original was resized, focus tweaked, desaturated, a lot of levels work (lotsa highlight increased, lotsa midtone reduced), and a double border. Nice and simple.

I can tell you were going for an effect here; however, at least one thing in the frame should be in focus. Can't really get a grip here on your mesage. even with the title.
