I'm with you King, and that's essentially why I posted it. Editorially modifying the contents of a photo isn't my strong point, and from my point of a view, that's a big factor in the technical problems with this image. The replacement of my background was a bit of a farce, so I might have overdone everything else to draw people's eye away from that a bit ;)

I thought the pose was kind of amusing, and I've been wanting to contribute something, so up she goes. If I have a bit more time before Thursday I might try and sneak another one in.

I'm glad you like it anyways, despite it's flaws :)

Remember how much I liked your self-portrait last time we had this theme?

I do, and I know this one isn't as good. I'll admit to a fair amount of luck in the previous entry though. Here's hoping this rates nearly as well as that one did, but I'm not expecting it to.

Thanks dudes and dudettes. Tracy, a belch isn't exactly what I had in mind, but now that I look at it, disturbingly you're somehow right on the money ;)
