 Self portrait, me and my other obsession. I hate entering a self portrait, its hard to be subjective about it. Others have said this was my best shot for the challenge, so on their heads be it :) Gotta give tethered shooting a go, the number of shots this took to get the angle ok was ridiculous!

Editing:
Crop
High Bypass layer
Topaz - Soften (masked so just around the skin on the face)
levels
clone some minor blemishes and stragly hairs.
Resize and added border.
