Challenge: Self Portrait

Comment:
this is the worst self portrait in the whole history of photography, what are you thinking??? I think you should send me your camera and take up a hobby like stamp collecting.

We're All So Small

the processing has a beautiful timeless feel about it, until you notice the wires running through the photo. real shame... And I hate it when people say this to me but you probably could have got away with cloning them out with the advanced editing rules.
It's still beautiful though

it really needs two pensioners having a smoke, wearing hair curlers, maybe one of them should be reading the form guide...

Twice Blessed

Comment:
I would say thrice blessed because they are asleep - I've got a 7 week old (only the one) and I think I'm twice blessed when she sleeps

I like the processing and I'm going to bump your score because I know what happened to the last photo I entered of a crying child. Would be slightly improved with the top of the hair not missing, or an even tighter crop.

Lonely Tyre

I quite like the tones in this shot, a very nice b/w conversion. The composition doesn't float my tyre (so to speak), its just that little bit off centre but not far enough to create some negative space for balance.

to get rid of halos in photoshop you can use the clone tool in darken mode so it will only effect the sky and not the branches. use a largeish brush at a low opacity and you can get a really good result very quickly. of course you could also clone it onto a new layer so its non destructive as well...
congrats on a beautiful image
