[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 276424, member: 12257"] Day 70 - Breaking all the rules... Ok, so I've fallen in love with this idea of "abstract" for a while, so I was thinking... what about abstract selfies? Hrrrmmm - there are some odd possibilities. I figured a close-up majorly out of focus shot of the eyes would be cool, perhaps adding a vacant or glazed look to the stare. What I got was both rather cool/artsy and creepy all at once. Then I played with different edits, each one adding it's own feel. This 1st one is the result of a very slight crop only, SOOC - the rest are just different touches/effects that, to me, change the feel a bit...
