- life hurts sometimes..... - *toune*
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I know what makes me comfortable
I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakes
Oh the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
(LeAnn Rimes)

you look a LOT like hugh laurie here (he's house on the tv show "house", if you've ever seen it). it's a good thing. and i just really generally love this photo.
Evelyn Arthur Richman (57 months ago | reply)
@ daina loves color: Hm, I looked it up there, and I wonder if Hugh Laurie would be overly excited about your comparison.. ;-)

I like the effects in this shot. I recognize the vignette effect, but what do you do to make the shot so sharp and gritty? Someone mentioned the Dragan Effect; is that a Photoshop thing?
Evelyn Arthur Richman (56 months ago | reply)
@ *dave: it´s not the dragan effect, but it´s photoshoped, yes.. I played just a bit with curves and colors.. and of course it has been a crisp sharp capture when I shot it.. ;)

Fantastic self portrait! The way the background sets off your eyes in this picture is brilliant!
And yes, I immediately made the Hugh Laurie comparrison when I saw this.
