Self Portrait C&C

[carguy4471]

I was bored, had to find something to do, photography related..... Decided I'd mess with some off camera flash. I was cramped in my room and didn't have much flexability in flash placement so the composition could be better. Given all that, what do ya think?? :lol:

Not sure what's going on with the colors here. Did you up the saturation?

Can't complain about the musculature.

I used a levels adjustment to take the black point up a hair to darken the shadow, used a curves layer to brighten up the whole photo, did some noise reducation and mild sharpening. The color was off from one side to the other as the flash wasn't perfectly centered..... or at least this is what I think it was. There was some tungsten lighting in the room as well. I think shooting with the lights out may have avoided the color shift from one side to the other. I was thinking about using a gradient layer to tone it down but wanted to keep it simple. :)

Uncalled for comment, your thread did not deserver such harsh words and for that, I am extremely sorry... I can not go back and fix my childish behavior; however I do feel my conscience would not be ok without extending an apology. Once again, I hope you can accept my request for forgiveness and forgive the post as it was placed in an unfavorable format.
