Torture or Beauty...or Both?

Tried to think of a shot for the assignment. Failed. Closest I think I've gotten recently is this one. Oh well.

Took this shot with a white background. Photoshop is fun.

Much processing later, and viola!

Today's activities:

-call from dad (2 minutes of information, 15 minute call)
-shower
-trip to Wal-Mart for new external (exchange). No data lost.

Goodnight.
