Challenge: Self Portrait V (Advanced Editing IV)
Collection: Challenges 2006
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Location: New Braunfels, TX
Date: Nov 4, 2006
Galleries: Humorous
Date Uploaded: Nov 4, 2006

 I did a 10K volksmarch with some friends this morning in New Braunfels. Whilst strolling through town, they told me about a couple of murals on walls. This isn't the one they told me about, but is an alley nearby. Sadly, the alley has a dumpster, which though cleverly painted, still smelled like a dumpster. Which is OK, because after walking 10K, I probably didn't smell all that sweet either. But the walls are really cool! I'll post more of the murals after the challenge, though I suspect anonymity on this one is kinda out the window for at least the 30 day SP folks. Minimal post - curves, crop, rotate ever so slightly, brightness/contrast on a multiply mode duplicate layer, reduced significantly.

Just for fun, not for score on this one!

I like this shot - the lightness of your shirt makes you pop out a bit without doing so too much.

this is a nice idea! I think it would be better if you were dressed up like them, instead of the casual look. an idea for the next time?

Talk to the wardrobe department. You deserve a better outfit. But everything else about this shot is super-cool. You position yourself well and the inclusion of the railing makes the shot more your own, somehow, while its geometry does not distract, adds interest instead. 7 or so
