Contemplation

I thought this would make an awesome profile photo. It's a little edgy, but also friendly too. The smile isn't too intense, but it is strong. This tutorial required taking two photos of me, one showing my face and the other covering it with my hands. I laid the two on top each of other and using some layer styles and effects I only passed my face through where my hands are, like a mask. Blue is my favorite color, so I chose to use that particular tone as the highlight.
