Description UPDATE: ^scottb picked this image for his top ten in the show yourself contest! Thanks to everyone that commented or fav'd my reflected soul

Dark self portrait for the Show Yourself contest [link] showing my self conflicted, confused, artistic side.

Photo taken in a steamed up mirror with a minimal light source. Background brush, cropping, and orange tone (my fav color) done in PSCS2.
Since I'm a pretty self concious soul that tries to remain invisible to the rest of the "real" world, this is about all you'll get out of me

Don't know about the other entries, but this surely deserves to do well. I like how the overall impression is of a series of 'pointing planes', almost triangles (the droplets, the arms, the exposed part of the face, all directing towards 'you' without revealing...

Wow, this looks amazing! I'm loving the simple color tone, and the emotion that it gives off.

Another one of your pieces added to my favorites. Do you think anyone would be jealous if I just favorited your entire gallery?
