I've been having a photographic dry spell lately that I've been trying to break. I actually had a model all lined up and ready for this challenge, but we had to reschedule. Something about a fist fight or a drug bust or something....
Either way, this left me with another self portrait shot. Joy.
Sat myself down in the garage next to the Landrover where the lighting was real nice. I may have gone a tiny bit overboard with retouching, haha. I have a nasty cold and bags under my eyes the size of prunes. I was really trying to make myself look....unlike myself. For the sake of something different. I'm just so tired of my face.

missuz innocent with the blue eyes the size of two grapefruit :p i love this... makes me want to get back into my photography majorly. like u have no idea anna, tres bon, tres bon!
wow didn't recognize you! Great shot again. I'm amazed this didn't place higher.... not amazed, really dissapointed actually. Sometimes I just don't get it.
absolutely gorgeous/flawless... what an amazing face she has! dont know if the odd effect you used will sit well with everyone, but it sure sat well with me!
Nice colors, expression is very natural: relaxed but active
Maybe so many colorful jewels are distracting a bit ... Those sapphires like eyes are more than enough!!!
This is such a cool idea, but I really would have liked to see the colors and saturation punched up more, it would have done so much more for the image!
I like it but its a little light. You know how things turn whitish after you brighten them. I hope thats not the case here. SHadows and highlights would bring out the dark areas of the photos with less side effects then brightness.
contrast needs boosted or levels adjusted some to give features more pop. She looks lost. Your photo gives people something to think about, a kind of reality check. Its good.
Wow!!! This is just spectacular! The capture of the incredible angst of this young woman's struggle for identity just reaches me on so many levels. A clear 10 for me. What depth!
