Wasn't going to upload this, too many selfies makes me look like I'm very vain lol No test subjects so I have to do. So, here it is anyway.

Here's another, this time a quick shot that was taken between wardrobe changes.

This is an HDR created from 1 shot. In Lightroom I created the minus and plus exposures then processed the 3 final images through Photomatix. Slight vignette added in Photoshop.
