Started of at 6.8 and I began to think I may get a personal best, not to be as it started to bomb ! Did not spend a lot of time on this, took a few snaps and then some pp in PSE9 and HDR Pro. Had to darken the shot due to the wall behind me and the photo sticking out of my ear!

What a difference between the original and the one you entered. I saw the entry and thought that this couldn't be you. The processing makes you seem like a person who is sad and in despair. Glad to see the original doesn't look that way!

Thanks for the comments, I do appreciate them!

Though I don't agree with Johanna re it being painfully oversharpened, just think that's the effect of my white/grey whiskers !

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you're young at heart. Your quote made me think of that great classic. Great catch lights.
