mirror held by my wife. I liked the effect, I don't much like putting in a self portrait. The bare dirt annoys me too but I didn't have light to re-shoot after I saw it on my computer and it really stood out.

Lightroom:
crop
exposure (fill, recovery, blacks)
reduce red sat
increase blue

PS:
resize
sharpen
flip horizontal
selective colour blue modified

What happened to the saturation in this image? The sky looks completely blown out.

Cool shot, I really like it. The only thing is that the background grass and dirt seems to try to compete for attention, though I do like the green mixed with the blue. Anyhow, I like it and good luck!
