[urban-ragdoll]

so i am entering this self portrait contest at school, and my school teaches how to use photoshop and digital media/imagery..biotech...technology and things of that sort. and i wanted your guys's opinion on this. it has to be edited, and it has to be a photo you took yourself..of yourself...[hence the self portrait thing.]

before-http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff255/urban-ragdoll/n746100160_5246586_2609.jpg

after-http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff255/urban-ragdoll/n1230641272_239978_4556.jpg

Taahira,

The links in your post don't work because the leading words butt right up against them... These work, though: BEFORE (http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff255/urban-ragdoll/n746100160_5246586_2609.jpg) AFTER (http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff255/urban-ragdoll/n1230641272_239978_4556.jpg)

You really brought focus to your eyes -- and the subdued colors add to the mysterious look.

I love the shot but I think you have been heavy handed on the editing, in my opinion it's more than a bit plastic looking. Did you have a certain look in mind?
At the risk of sounding like my mom, just let your pretty self shine through!

Hi Taahira,

I like it! It has a very edgy, contemporary look. But of course I've never judged a high school self-portrait contest! :D
