I recently worked up some images for a competition with the theme "Ice." I decided to go with self-portraits, which was an experience. It turns out I have a LOT of bad angles. Fortunately, out of the 400 that I took, I managed to have four or five that were acceptable after extensive photoshopping. :) The interesting thing is that I don't think they actually look like me, which made them much easier to work on in post.
The first three have an ice texture that I made and overlaid to the images, the last one looked better without the overlay, but I still haven't decided exactly what to do with the background. Now accepting suggestions :)
Enjoy!
