Your head does look bigger... but I think that may be camera angle. Try the liquefy tool :) using the bulge tool on a really huge setting is FUN :) bwahhahahhahhahhahhahhaaaaa! When you burn around the photo like that, try using a very large soft edged brush set to about 60% opacity on a new layer. Then, if you accidentally over-do it, you can tone it down a bit. But, you won't have those lines in your vignette :)

I like the way you commanded the light to make a hard line down your nose. :) No spill. Very impressive. I like your processing too :)

Day 2- Disconnection

I see you like Photoshop :) Okay, here's a little tip/trick for you: When you are cutting around things, sometimes if you zoom to about 400% and use the polygonal lasso tool (on a new layer) to contain what you want to get rid of and then just hit Backspace to delete it, it ends up being a much cleaner cut. You can make the background layer invisible to see what you will look like after. Oh, and here is a hint: Hard edges look more natural than soft ones. Maybe tomorrow I will tell you an easy way to get rid of that annoying white/black fringe around things you cut out ;)

Lovely light and wonderful creativitiy! I can't wait to see what else you come up with :)

Your range from light to shadows is kind of harsh here and I am losing your eyes from the squinting (sun?). If you would, please put your camera settings up with your shots... it helps us help you. :) I see some noise in this photo but I don't know WHY it is there without knowing what your settings were. Thus, I have no way of telling you creative ways to get rid of it without NI. :)

I am not fond of the square crop here... you seem very cramped into the frame with no where to go.

Neat Image is your enemy ;) Your focus does look a little soft here... perhaps we were worried about the camera going for a dip? lol

I think you look very pretty. Your haircut does a great job of flattering your face too. Your light is very nice too. Beautiful catchlights. I'm sure I am starting to look older than I used to... but I just don't see it in the mirror either though I am starting to feel it lol! Dang, I NEED coffee... I look forward to seeing more of your SPs :) Keep em coming!!
