I had a couple of hours of free time today, and thought about taking a self portrait... which is a task I am not particularly excited about. However, I am relatively pleased with the way this photo turned out.

With the exception of a couple of color balance curves and the right portion of the background, this photo is pretty much as shot. For the background, I stacked two identical layers on top of each other, enlarged the canvas to make it from a 2:3 ratio to a 2:2 one, and then resized the background layer using the "Content Aware Scale" function in PS4.
