Low Key Selfie

One of my 365 friends posted a low key apple photo which was so good, I thought I would try and create one of me! I was quite pleased with the result. Doesn't show my wrinkles

[Kimberly Balychev]

Fantastic shot my dear Maggie! You look amazing! :) Love it!

[Jim]

Great job!

[Anne]

This is lovely - the sepia effect makes it look like an old posed studio shot. You have a very faraway look ....

[Maggiemae]

@elizabeth264 Heaven knows, Elizabeth - I took a shot from the computer's camera and as the light was at the side, I turned my face. Then I reduced the exposure right down and put in a vignette.

[Maggiemae]

@alceyone Your apple is what gave me the idea, Anne! Thanks!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Lovely selfie. A fav.

[Maggiemae]

@daisy Thanks Kathryn - even my husband said...mmm - that, translated means "quite good"!

[karenann]

Beautiful .... amazing capture. You knocked it out of the ballpark. FAV.

[Maggiemae]

@karenann mighty words, Karenann but thank you!

[richard saffold]

very well done!

[Abhijit]

This is awesome Maggie. Well shot. Love the processing. Beautiful

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love the subtlety and the rather mysterious quality of the light. If you were a medium, you could use this as publicity poster -- "Let Madame Maggiemae predict your future by looking into the light."

[Yvonne]

Great job, Maggiemae. This has such a cool feel to it. I love it. Fav for me. And LOL about the "not showing the wrinkles"--may have to use that for all my selfies!!!!

[Maggiemae]

@catwoman2 Do you think I am looking out the window, waiting for my lover to come home from the war - ( he never will)??

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie Thank you Yvonne - it was almost by chance that I did this - de-saturated the picture having never done it before and it was quite pleasing!

[Yvonne]

@maggiemae What program did you use to process it, Maggiemae. I would love to give it a try.

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie Its the usual iPhoto edit, Yvonne-great to play around with! Do you have iPhoto?

[Yvonne]

@maggiemae Yes, I do and use it all the time. Thanks. I will have to try it.

[Dawn Reilly]

[Maggiemae]

@kwiksilver You should - you never know what you can end up with!

[Jennifer Ruge]

Very nice selfie!

[Simply Amanda]

So very nice, Maggiemae. Love how this is processed. Such a timeless feel. My goal is to be a selfie expert by the end of this year! You did great!

[Janelle]

What a great idea. Must do more selfies as this looks great :-)

[Frida]

So.... Mrs Jobs I reckon! This is very interesting Maggie and very well executed. Will keep this in mind for one of mine if you don't mind :)

[Maggiemae]

Help yourself, Frida - I would be very interested in your result! Just remember to shoot ordinarily then 'desaturate"!

[Caroline]

I like this a lot.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

This is great! Love the vintage feel to it!
