 Self Portrait, camera was on the timer.
Despecle globally, and with the clone brush. Removed a few shadows. Adjusted clarity, increased brightness and contrast. Added the border, resized, then sharpened.

A little dark? Intentional. Radar rooms usually are.

Too cluttered, the busy background takes attention away from what should be the subject in a portrait, the person.

light day with only two strips and a couple inbound. Its hard to get a good shot in a radar room.

It will be interesting to hear how you lit this since your rooms need to stay pretty dark.
