Default So ya wanna be in pictures, hunh, kid?

First ya gotta clean up yer act.

A CCW rotation and a crop start things off.

- On copy of original, little bits of snack are cloned away, as well as parts of the shirt.
- Right arm and shoulder are copied, made larger, then lined up with shirt.
- All highlights that appear blurred vertically, are smudged into dots.
- Second copy of original is placed over this on Darken mode, 30% Opacity.
- First layer is Contrasted, Blue hue increased slightly, some Red added
- Saturation helps bring color to cheeks.
- Third copy of original is placed over second, all but hair is deleted.
- Lighten, erase to edges to show top of head better.
- Add vignette to focus attention and do away with background
