Edited photo

This assignment is about editing photos. I took a random portrait picture of myself, and edited the picture, using Picasa. I have been changing the light, contrast, shadows, colours and accents. Also, I have added several effects on it. The picture is kind of vague, but I am still recognisable. I really like the way several things are left out, while others are stressed, by the filter 'pencil sketch', I hope you like the picture. Underneath, you can find the edited picture. I have not included the original picture, because I do not want to put photos of myself in this weblog.
