24Mar06 Self Portrait Friday - 10528

Photo a Day, Day 359...My 3rd attempt at a self portrait... Someday I'll figure these out... seems I either cut off my head or look corny as hell... or both...
Playing around a bit more with this in Photoshop after Ed sent a note... Icidently - I hate photos of myself in general so that is a huge hurtle in itself not to mention trying to compose something I can't see...

Here is an alternate Photoshop take on it:

ACR, Selective unsharpen using Highpass filter, Hue/Sat layer, Resize, Frame: PhotoshopCS2

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/6s f/6.3 at 42.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Hey, another one of us bits the bullet. I know how you feel...wrong end of the camera completely for me. This is excellent though. Well done!
And pleased to meet you!

Very well done. A wonderful self portrait. Keep this one for those times when folks ask, "do you have a picture?"!

Hi CJ, these are always hard to take, I still haven't ventured down this road in full!

Very nice, but I would like it better in color.
Would love to be there and give you a hug
