 I just find it ironic that we have this tool in our hands that sees truth whether we do or not (and even more so when we can get our 'selves' out of the way) and here we all are focusing on the very thing that can obscure the truth the most: our egos. No judgement, just observation. I love to laugh at myself the most.

Used the vignette tool in raw before converting. Then burned like crazy. Also, blur tool on the background.

Looks like a very lovely spot indeed. The natural light here is very nice.

The only psyche I even occaisionally see clearly is my own, and, frankly, it scares me when I do.

I like the prcessing you've done here, works well with this shot. I also like the way you are looking into the sun and squinting, gives you some attitude! Nicely done!

Well, you've got EGO in your name, albeit spelt backwards.

Nice vignetting, it looks really good for this picture.

The vignette goes well with the hue of the sky.
