Fall Self Portrait

For those of you who complain that my Alaska ground foliage shots are over manipulated, feast on this. I've turned off my rating meter and view counter in the new spirit of non competitive blips. I'm halfway tempted to shut off comments so I don't have to to hear Herr Klantz call me a girl.

The over manipulation is partly intended to spare you the harsh reality of my genuine face. Also, it was impossible for me to hold still for 5 seconds which was the exposure time as I shot this at dusk in a rain shower. Please refer to Calico's rain drop.
