Challenge:Tribute (Advanced Editing IV*) Camera:Kodak Z760 Location: End of my bed Date: Jan 19, 2006 Aperture: 3.4 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/8 Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2006
Well, I was going to enter this into Free Study, but my mom suggested it go as a Tribute because it looked so similar to the picture here by Steve McCurry:

This one is a self portrait. It's kinda freaky I think, I have enormous eyes, but no lips! lol I really really like it though, and I hope it does well. It's not the best picture, I know, but I love it. The lighting is off too, so one side of my face is really bright, while the other is kind of dark. I only cloned out a few distracting elements around my left eye and unsharp mask after resize. I'm guessing and hoping it will be around a 5.5
*crossing my fingers* Please please please do well!! lol

Well not really Steve McCurry's style but style a lovely portrait nevertheless. The skin is faded, the colors looked faked and the sharpness is a little off but I love the color combinations, the fact that that all the blues just go well with each other.
