Thanks, Olaf. I hope this means there's big money in my future. *grin* ~Lydia

Here is the cover of The Beatles' second album, "with the beatles":
I think that explains my last comment...

Seeing this in thumbnail size, there is something "The Beatles" over it. Perhaps you look like a young Paul McCartney or John Lennon? Perhaps also, the square aspect ratio leads my thoughts to an album cover?

Thanks for your help, Mahmoud. Unfortunately, I almost never PS my own face... seems vain to me. So, I am what I am... :) ~Lydia

Hey Lydia that's a nice capture ... But the head is slightly tilted to your right it should go a little to the lift.... I would also Photoshop some of the highlights on the dark side by your hair, and take out the hair line by your shoulder. I'll have to say there is some retouching needed in the face too nothing major :-) ~Mahmoud

Better Lydia - maybe a bit more cloning under the eye but the shadow over the eye looks fine! :-) CJ

Thanks for the help! I've used it and think the image is improved. ~Lydia

Yes, brightening the eye and toning down the hot-spot on the side of your nose would improve this interesting self-portrait.

I like the side lighting here Lydia - it makes for a nice moody self portrait (although I know you're not the moody type!) The b&w conversion looks great as does the creative pp to highlight the rim of your clothing but leave the rest very dark. My only nit would be that the shadows around your eye seem a bit too dark, but a great SP none-the-less! :-) CJ
