To langdon: Just messed with the levels. I'd taken the picture with a satin black backdrop behind me and stood a ways in front of it. Then very bright lights on my face very close to me and a fast shutter speed. It took me a few shots to get the metering right, but eventually got it so my face was lit up normal-looking but the background faded to solid black. You could still see a TINY amount of detail, but a quick level adjust in photoshop fixed it.
Hey, you! To be honest...I feel you could have put up a better picture than this. Hoever, it's still a better picture, with the title fitting the image, though you could have tried to appear more afraid!
