the first day of my junior year in high school, a big day my friends...

ok, not really, it was pretty normal.

but the teachers are always so lackluster on the first day, its the truth! i usually get to liking them through the next month, but gosh, the first day they couldnt be more unlikeable. so this picture was trying to depict the utter zombified loook i had after classes.

editing:
open
levels
burn eyes (heh)
burn mouth (salsa anyone?)
diffusion glow layer
more dodge.burn
auto sharpen
save

ps. i am taking a ton of photoshop classes to fine tune my skills, so im excited for that. Also, took my final road test for drivers ed today (last report of my driving was last self portrait challenge) and i BARELY, and i mean BARELY passed. i pretty much talked him into giving it to me (the paper saying i passed). who said that running a red light during the test would dock me 20 points? no one, thats who.

You're taking classes in Photoshop? What for? You should be teaching classes in it.

This is a very strange looking image, thanks to your excellent processing skills. It seems totally different from your normal "full of life" SP's.
Spooky, but very good.

Wonderfully emotive.

BTW, the teachers purposely act like that at first... to set the tone that they aren't pushovers. They can relax a bit after everyone figures it out. :)

Another one that I have to say, freakin' awesome! The first day of school is an emotional day for all and yes, it can be draining.

School starting already?? What is this world coming to?
Hey, I like this! And I guessed that it was reflective of your mood at the end of the school day.
This gives me an idea for one of my SP entries that you are sure to hate. :)

Ok, scratch that - it was too creepy even for me.
