 I think that this is too photoshoped for DPC but i like it this way. EWWW by the state of the tub it looks like i should be spending more time cleaning and less reading. I would love to know how i can get rid of that shadow under the chin.

this processing gives it a nice retro feel...kind of looks like a shot an older woman would pull out to her grandchildren and say "look I was young once too"...
The shadow..well in basic editing I think you are pretty well stuck with it...now a bathroom with natural lighting pouring in..well that would have changed everything....

I really like the mild grunge feeling to this photo. It looks a bit like one of the old Cindy Crawford adverts. The sharp contrast does well here.

This is RAW ... and I like it! It's a little blown out for me ... to the tune of 2...

Image is overexposed? The tile wall is blown out too much. Possibly because of the strong light source, which also produces those harsh shadows.

I don't think it will, but this photo NEEDS to win. It is so awesome. I love the old-timey look and the concept and just... everything!
