7 Deadly Sins - Pride

I created a series on flickr dedicated to the 7 deadly sins! This picture indicates vanity!

Vanity or Pride is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others. In many religions vanity is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects God for the sake of one's own image, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of God. The stories of Lucifer and Narcissus, and others, attend to a pernicious aspect of vanity.

Philosophically-speaking, vanity may refer to a broader sense of egoism and pride.

In early Christian teachings vanity is considered an example of pride, one of the seven deadly sins.

I thought this was the best way to model vanity! A mirror shot of me pampering myself! I am happy with the way this came out. I used the Dynamic-HDR tool! I think it really brought out the colors in this shot!

NIP/TUCK

Nip/Tuck was the inspiration for this picture and the Gauz came from the poster as well but the model is me. I used the Dynamic-HDR tool on this image after I manipulated it. I love how it came out. I also used the Neat Image tool on me before I added myself to the gauz. It really smoothed me out! Some good places for stock images are Deviant Art or Image Shack!

Self Portrait

This is me! Neat Image! With just a few touch ups. Anyway it is very nice to meet everyone! Hello! I like touching up portraits. I like using photoshop. If anyone wants a photo photoshoped I will do it for them. Just send me a quick message from here.

ME

Here is a self-portrait! I put this image in neat image a few times. I used the Dynamic-HDR tool on this photo. It enhanced the color. I smoothed it out some usinf the smudge tool in the Adobe CS3 photoshop. I also enhanced the colors and used the Overlay tool in blending options.

This is one of my modeling pictures. I used to model a while back. Now I am on the other side of the camera!
