Perception
My latest entry for the Boredom Competition- I finally decided it would be cheating to use my last weeks entries with my hat although I think they fit this week’s theme of self-portraits better :) Did a little work in photoshop to get the selective coloring and the usual touch-ups. I think I need a new model… :)
See Antanas’ version Foggy touch

I am down on earth because God put me here and I am a person who is not very complicated or picky, just fed up with politics and pollution and when it comes to eating ice-cream with cheerios.
The girl I am looking for would have to not be afraid to do the spunky funky chicken dance in front of my family when they frisk her at the door, and she needs to be kind, HONEST, respectful, but not to president of the United States of America if she ever meets him.

Beautiful portrait.
Katya Lavorovna, 6 months ago
Very good detail, sharpness, and texture in this well-lit shot. It would stand alone as a b&w image, but the specific application of color adds something special to it.
