I took this photograph of myself using a Tripod and a 10 second timer.
Post processing was done in Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 on MacOS X, and consisted of a single Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and cropping.
I am in Okinawa Japan, which is 14 hours ahead of EST, so it is currently the morning of 10 December, even though it is still December 9th in the states.

Well, Tofarley, it looks as if this is your week to be Critiqued by SFAlice. I see I just did your nice Candlelight Romance entry.
This one is a different mood entirely. It's humerous and technically good. (The more I see of the S2 IS at work,the more I like it.) Composition is good.
The voters generally liked it and you received a pretty good score. I guess your very nice image just didn't have that extra something that voters tend to reward so highly.
I wish you continued enjoyment in your DPC experience.
very nice idea. maybe could have used a more dramatic pose, like bending over to grab one of those beers, or to get something out of the back of the fridge, but, then again, at that time of night, there is usually that sense of uncertainty, wanting something, but not knowing just what. great work! love the lighting--that is tops. great perspective, as well.
The headless leftover hunter. I only yhink of those that are instead cooking breakfast at such an hour. Preparing for a day at the factory. I like your excellent composition. 9
I like this one! There is another one similar in this challenge, but this one is more simple and clean. It's a bit over exposed (see the light around the hand)
