Description For She specifically asked for another selfportrait.

And for my devwatchers who tied my poll (under the new journal features) between black and white and portrait. So - I combined them into one.

Edit: It was brought to my attention the title is the same as a shakira song. Please make no ties between me and her.

you are lovely - and make a great model. awesome job with the editing as well - as others have said, I could not tell until I went back to look for it, and even then it was difficult to see.
Great angle.

Wow, I love the angle and contrast. You should do self portraits more often.

Either I'm stupid or you did a very good job with the clouds. I didn't notice a thing until I read about it. Looking sexy and model"ish" as always. Keep up the self portraits. You portray yourself well.

This is nice! I don't mind the editing, I do it too. Especially when stupid sprayers vandalize beautiful art places. I digress.
You could try to give this a slight tint. If I remember tomorrow, I'll upload some of my B/W-film color maps. IMO, they make the pictures appear somewhat more vivid.
And... Shakira! Wee!

Nice job on the photomanip, I honestly couldn't tell until I read above that a nice chunk of the sky was fake, I commend you. The only thing that looks weird to me is that your thumb looks rather pointy.

disgruntledpeony [2004-06-06 22:43:13 +0000 UTC]

Nice shot, I like the perspective. Your expression is nice, too. I like the clouds, and the ones that are digitally maniped don't look that way at all. I am appropriately impressed.

ha thanks. the sky on the right side from about my shoulder down is fake. the sky on the left side from my waist down is fake. there was ground there that I had to take out - and so I took clouds from other parts of the image and placed them in. Im glad you not only mentioned the clouds - but liked them - and didnt notice they were fake . I spent about 3 hours on this image trying to get it right!

Ill even point it out - the cloud to the right and below my shoulder came from the top left corner - and the cloud below that came from just left of my boobies (werd)

ohhhhhhh im such an ass

haha, dontcha love it when people do that?! I might be submitting a piece called "two girls and two gulls" with 2 girls and 2 seagulls offsetting each other, what people WON'T know is that I removed about 4 other gulls and a big plastic bag.

cheers, keep pulling fast ones

roflmao exactly. something I do regularly in photoshop is take out what sucks and move stuff around to help make up for it.

I say if it makes the photo better then do it just as long as nothing is outrageous.
