I think this is the first time I have EVER taken a self-portrait that includes my face, so please be kind! :huh This is natural light, hand held and a little bit of healing brush and some slight curves and levels adjustments. I don't have the foggiest about how some of you do such nice skin tone and eye treatments, but I was relatively happy with this, so I thought I'd share. Any photography or post processing critiques or tips are welcome! :D

    Cool, I like it; Simple, but sweet. The framing leaves a little to be desired, but on the whole, it's a great portrait, nice job =).
