Peering Out From The Dark: Self Portrait.


I find this photo awesome. I had taken it last night while being bored and working on my photo project "The 365". It was pic of the day for the project. The photo is a self portrait, with sort of a abstract touch to it.

I set my camera up in one hand, held a lamp with another and shot a photo of my eyes with my sweater neck pulled up.

The photo was taken in automatic mode, with no flash. I had to keep very still cause any shake of the hand would blur it. The picture that turned out sucked.

So to make it like this, I mirrored the photo and then did a reflection of the left and side, split in two, then I added some Accented Edges, and Dry Brush Strokes to give it a painted feel.

The cool part about looking at the pic is that both my eyes are my left eye.
