So it's a self-portrait.. Lit with two strobes + external flash. Put the camera on a timer and set my flash up at a certain angle. Unfortunately, some shadows came out but I ended up with this photo. I kinda like the shadows but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully this doesn't do TOO bad, ;) I'm not the most handsome guy around :)
editing steps: (as close as I remember)
-Brightness/Contrast
-USM
-Gaussian blur/erasing specific areas
-Burn/Dodge
-Edited some skin "issues"
-Blue eye
-Saturation
-Saved for web, with a quality set at 90. Hopefully it looks alright
Thanks!

Well, if I should go by this photo, you're plenty handsome. :o)
This was one of my favs in the challenge. Apparently the commenters were impressed also. Keep on going in that direction. This is excellent and I feel it should have scored higher.
Idea is good, I like the photo, but couple things bother me. Your forehead, right where the hat is, too bright. Also, your hand looks like holding your head like "to be or not to be" I kind of understand your goal here, but execution a bit poor if you ask me :/ I am sure you'll do better next time :)
