 Whenever I'm bored or procrastinating I use StumbleUpon, hopefully I'm not alone. Lit with a big flashlight with a guitar cleaning cloth over it, pointed at the StumbleUpon logo printed on a piece of paper.

Actually StumbleUpon is how I found DPC!

Did some basic stuff in RAW, then curves and flipped canvas horizontally. I liked it the first way but the logo is better not backwards. Sharpened more than I usually would.

I'm not a big fan of those black heads and mystery hair on the nose though, at least I was able to crop out a huge pimple haha

that logo sort of image in the eye is distracting for me, overall good shot.

I had to google SumbleUpon to understand this, but once I did my perception of the picture did change. My only problem is the subject looks excited not bored. Nice detail, sharp image, great reflection in the eye

Very intersting macro and I really like the reflected image concept. Nice capture.

Not bad. Although the stray eyelash really distracts here.
