face it

My Get pushed #6 buddy @carolinedreams asked me to take a shot that showed my face.
Like lots of 365'ers, I can think of many things I would prefer to do over posting 'selfies', but pushing through the discomfort, I learnt that I need to look at images of myself in the same non-judgemental way that I look at images of everyone else.
You did a wonderful job though... very tastefully processed as always.

What a gorgeous shot Lyn. This is like a fine oil portrait. Well done.

You look stunning but I think you over processed yourself. I would have liked to see more of your face.

Beautiful selfie and processing.

Brilliantly done, Lyn! I hate doing selfies lol... *shudders*... this is brilliant!
September 1st, 2012  
Wow, what a great selfie!!!! LOVE the processing.

I love this Lyn. Very elegant and beautiful. I like the processing- like a 1940s hand coloured photo that has been a bit water damaged. Reminds me of the beginning of Treme if you've ever seen that show. Well done, a great Push response.

@carolinedreams Thanks Caroline - I have not seen Treme, but I can see a similarity to the advertising materials. However I did think of 'The English Patient' once this was finished. I had taken all of the shots with a period feel in mind. I would NEVER have posted anything like this if it were not for your challenge. :)

this is an amazing portrait! really beautifully posed and amazing processing... and all that much more impressive as its a selfie.... those are hard hard hard!
September 1st, 2012  
@northy mmm hard... & scary... luckily I have a wireless remote trigger, but focussing on the eyes is a challenge for sure.
September 1st, 2012  
@ltodd yep - the wireless remote trigger is da bomb!
September 1st, 2012  
I think it's a superb self portrait.
September 1st, 2012  
Beautiful! And I love the processing and softness to this.
September 1st, 2012  
Wow!!! Stunning!!!

Beautiful, and the effects are great too!

Lyn, this is a stunning selfie with really lovely processing!

I was paired up with @todd this week for the get pushed challenge, but that person doesn't seem to exist. :) I was wondering if it was, by chance???

@tryeveryday Hi there Michelle, yes that would be me. I have been looking through your album & see you have tackled so many different styles & techniques already, I will need to think hard before I set your challenge.
September 2nd, 2012  
Lyn you are so beautiful! Love the processing!
September 2nd, 2012  
Oh my fabulous result, very ethereal. I had to do a selfie this week too. (lots of processing)

@monika64 @ulpiphotos @tryeveryday @denisedaly @marieooi @ozziehoffy @jesperani @northy @hudd @aprilmilani -- a very nervous thanks & LOL - I did process the life out of it -- for the same reason painters use stucco to cover imperfections in walls.. ;-D
September 3rd, 2012  
@ltodd LOL @ stucco!!! Your profile pic is great... no need to process the life out of you ;) I do still really like this one of you though, it's great :)

What a lovely lady - and your processing just adds such a dreamy and ethereal sort of quality. Amazing.
