Default Here goes...

This was my first attempt at any type of self portrait, so I'm being brave and posting my face for you all to see! Lighting was mostly from my laptop and a few candles lit on the table, I also tried some adjusting in PS, hope its not too much, I'm still learning and enjoy playing around!

1st self portrait
