Challenge: Self Portrait VIII (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Location: My apartment
Date: Aug 27, 2013
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/250 sec
Date Uploaded: Aug 27, 2013

 Taken last minute, 28th Japan time, still in time for the challenge...hope that's OK.

Editing...

LR:
Basic adjustments to shadows and highlights.

PS:
Liquify until I looked as handsome as I am.
CEP 4, Several different filters to create an HDR look.
Curves, Levels to bring the shirt out more.
Saturation to shirt and eyes.
Sharpen eyes, hair and beard.
Re-size and Save-for-web.

Had 2 cheap flashes, one right behind me to blow out the background. The other with softbox to my right. Focus the camera and had it hooked up to my intervalometer so I could just sit there and make different faces. After about 5 minutes I was happy with what I had.
