 You know i can never shy away from a self portrait to be taken for a challenge. :-)

This was what my prom night looked like this year, I was really nervous and anxious to see some boys in some tuxes. My wish was indeed granted.

Taken by my trusty 12-24mm, this lens is my hero, best money i've spent in a long time, besides my car.

processing was very simple, increased the contrast, sharpen, and tweaked the colors a little bit.

i had the ISO up quite high because i was, at first, shooting for the image noise challenge..only to find out upon trying to submit the challenge was already up for voting. High contrast was next up.

Thanks for the positive comments and high score, this was a real treat for me.
