Shot in front of my Patio Door. The Background is lite from the morning sun and an extra light from inside to make it brighter. The Camera (forground) is lite by a 60 watt desk lamp.
I was originally intending to have just my profile outlined in black, against the bright background and the Camera in the forground. Exposure Comensation +1. Hooked my Camera up to the PC remote capture, to shoot at 15 second intervals. I took 88 shots. I liked this one where it looks like I am about to look through the camera. The Desk Lamp also lighting up part of my face, especially one eye.
In PS7:
Crop: Off Center/Negitive Space
Hue/Sat: Reduced the Yellowness of the Desk Lamp
Brightness/Contrast: Emphasize one eye, and darkend the rest of my face.
Sharpen

At first I thought this image is underexposed. Then the background 'started working'. Now the more I view the picture, the more I like it: the light is just fabulous just like the composition. All in all it is a very clever photo and one of my favorites this week. (8)
