So much going on in life I somewhat reluctantly joined in the
Focusing on Life 52 week photo challenge hosted by Sally Russick.
The first challenge is a tough one and I think just about everybody would agree. Very few of us like to be in front of the camera and taking a Self Portrait is not easy.

I kind of like this one cause it has a very cheeky mischievious look to it and I had to play with it in pic monkey to minimize the things I didn't like about it.
So I focused on my eye looking right at the camera.
As far as cropping I didn't need to, this is the exact shot that came from my camera, I was just holding the camera at arms length and clicking and this was really the only useable shot I got.

And when I was playing I came across this effect that I thought was cool so I'll share it too.
