Insomnia

I took this photo for a photo challenge in the Aperture Science Group over on Flickr - self portrait. I wanted to try to convey how I've been feeling lately - I'm a bit stressed out and haven't been sleeping well. I cropped my eyes out of a full-face photo, and then played with contrast and colors to accentuate the bags under my eyes and to make my complexion look much worse. Scary or what?

Canon PowerShot A710IS
1/2s f/2.8 at 5.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Tom, is that really you???? It looks like Al Pacino! That's who I thought it was at first, snd I wondered how you got such a closeup shot of him.....
