self portrait for class

One of the 3 classes I am taking this semester is a photoshop class. Having no previous experience with the software I am struggling, but hope to catch up and do well in the class. Our first major assignment was to create 2 selfportraits. I really don't like the other one, but I'll post the first one I did.

After a few hours and tutorials later this is what I came up with. Lisa took this photo of me on New Year's Eve so props to her for making me look so glowy and pretty. : ) All I did was crop the photo, then add a some festive brush strokes and glowing lines to make it wintery Yep, thats about it, thought I would share.
