Thanks Yasa. Combination of superb equipment, RAW conversions to eliminate noise, then layers of high pass sharpening, at varying opacities. Taking time to get focus as spot on as possible makes it easier. No amount of post processing can make up for something not close to optimally focused.

I took it the other day, but I am just now uploading it to my computer.
Self portrait, using the theme.

Nice one. Very dramatic and moody. I like how your head is still discernible from the dark background along the left side of your head (photo right). Very subtle, very nice.
