 Oops, I didn't understand the rules well enough. The matter has been cleared and I now understand.

P.S. Do not used the burn tool to make the background black!!!!!!

Thank you all for your comments regardless!



Ahh yes! This was fun! This is the 2nd time I tried this and the results definitely improved.

Simple setup, I set the camera on a tripod and used self-timer. Thus a self-portrait.

Editing Steps:
-Hue/Saturation, removed color and then increased and decreased the lightness on certain color tones.
-Levels adjustment
-Dodging and Burning, I used quite a bit of both tools for this shot!
-Crop and Resize
Disqualification Details
You may not use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer's description of the photograph (aside from color), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken.

I don't like this at all ... Technically it is good (IF you tried to make it look like commputer graphics) but I wonder if you did. Gonna give you a 5 for tech. Sorry.
