Self Portrait With Graffiti, Mid afternoon 17 May
Canon SX120 F8.0 1/60″ Exposure comp -2.0 ISO80
Edits: In Photoshop RAW: Temperature -13, tint -8, Exposure +1.10, Brightness +40, Contrast +16, Clarity+38, Vibrance+51, Saturation +5, Greens +80, Aquas +100, Lens Vignetting -66, Saturation +24 adjustment brush on graffiti.
This was just a fun shot; I wasn’t intending to use it for anything. I set the camera on a small ledge between two train cars and used the timer. It turned out to be very fun to play with in raw because of all the bright colors. And because i’m vain and like looking at myself.

I like how the colors pop out after you edited it. I also like the cropping. Great job!
what photographer does like freaking cool pics of themselves! I think its because with a self portrait we know exactly what we want it to look like, as opposed to trying to get someone to do what we are thinking. anyway, love the shot, great work with the raw edit.
This looks so good! The adjustments really make a huge difference. You are great at editing photos. Good job!
I like how you made subtle changes but they added a lot to the image. I love the coloring and the rust detail of the train graffiti. I think your shot has really good balance and composition as well.
