"My Aura"

[AWGD8]

I took this pic long time ago while playing with my new EOS.
I was just experimenting with the ambient light coming from the blinds and bouncing off the ceiling. I was holding the camera waist level infront of a mirror and took this shot. Sorry, I only saved it in a small jpeg format. What do you guys think? Kindda abstract though.....

I like the head portion because of the contrast. It gets lost on the left side and the bit on the lower right could be cloned with the predominant color on the just above. For the left side I would use a gradient and force the shoulder to go lighter using one of the colors from the rest of the working image.

By the way I still love that airplane shot that you are using for your avatar.

Thanks man! yeah that avatar pic is probably taken the same time I took the picture above. I like to experiment shooting like this. I had seen enough good images (landscape etc.) from the full time pros! I want to do something original...Hopefully, my own creation, my own style....

My only real complain is that it could use some noise reduction:
