 Well, I copied (oh, that's not so creative, is it?) the cover photo of Michael J. Fox's autobiography, Lucky Man, which I recently borrowed from the library. However, I do not think I'm very lucky. It certainly seems that I've lost my remote trigger somewhere so I had to use the cable release. ;-Þ
Slight exposure and shadows adjustment in the RAW image. Touched up a few spots. Quite pleasingly converted to black and white using the Helicon 4 filter. Sharpened.

This is a very appealing self portrait, revealing of character and technically fine, and should have placed much higher. An "8" from me, btw.

Cute pose! I like the "bashful" look to it. :)
