A styalized picture of me, the last picture my camera took before it fell face first in the creek and the only setup for a self portrait i took. Since i had so much time to edit it, I may have gone overboard, but it kept me sane until my camera dried out. This is a very tight crop of a much larger image so some of the detail was lost.
Neat imaged, rotated and croped, got rid of an odd reflection on the eyelid amd cloned out some dead pixels, auto adjusted levels, adjusted the hue and saturation, another trip through neat image, usm and a softglow and another usm, burned, adjusted colors again and changed the hue of the water.

Neatimage is the killer on this one. I feel behind the plastic (feel) there is a beautiful face and amazing capture. I would love to see this picture without neatimage (or atleast not over-NeatImage), some more saturation and soft-diffused glow which will give it "fantasy" feel. I'm glad there still are members which like to try "different" styles. Thanks for being one of them though this perticular style of PP does not work for me. Goodluck for future submissions.
A little overuse of something like neat image ... and it seems slightly oversharpened .. is an interesting concept for a self portraint ... as well as a good composition.
Wow. It's like neatimage exploded all over the place here. I do like your expression though. And points for the courage to lay down away from your camera while it's near water.
Oh, easy on the neat image. If non was used I apologize but I can't see what else could have removed so much detail from her hairr and face. Would love to see the original, this looks like it could be very nice.
Interesting idea and perspective. I like the muted colors and composition. The shot does look a little over processed, which I'm not a huge fan of, but this type of processing could really work well in some situations.
