....and no, it's not Timothy, despite the disheveled look about me. First person that makes THAT connection gets punishment LOL! Just woke up, putzed around a bit, set some lights and a black velvet background and shot in three different camera positions. The lighting is a bit harsh....I agree already. But diffusing wasn't really a possibility with the lighting setup. My character acting days aren't over yet....oh well.
Post: Convert from raw with a +0.33 exposure compensation. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue'saturation. Some spot editing on the side of my ear and in and around my eyes, cloning, mainly and healed a spot or two on the background on the right.
OK?....well now I can got and get shaved and showered and all and get ready to try a long exposure shot that I hope can come close to what I want and do a little shopping and dinner. Got to celebrate not having been layed off the other day...or commiserate...it will depend on my mood. LATER!

Nicely real. Like the disheveled look. I can see "leery" in that you're leery of doing a self portrait, but you almost look distrustful of your audience too. Very nice work - great light!
