True colours, personal stetment

Personal Statement
For my self portrait image I have taken it with a 18th century silhouette style, but with a modern look at it, I took my self portrait this what because I didn't particularly what to have that much detail in my face, so I thought about silhouettes, and how I've all ways liked them, and wanted to give one a go.
While taking my images I tyred several different back grounds, to see which worked best, and after looking at my images in light room, I decided that using the sky was the best one because it gave the image some detail in the back ground but not enough to distract the eye from the silhouette, but enough to make it interesting and not flat.
I also whilst taking my images tyred some with and with out my hat, I have chosen one with my hat on because I where it a lot, and it is something that people recognises about me, and it all so gave the silhouette a better finish round the top of my hair instead of all my crazy hair.
I have done some editing of my images in Light room, because I felt that I needed to make the silhouette a bit more silhouette, and that I needed to make the sky a bit better because even thought I had could in the sky, it was still a little flat but after a little tweaking in light room, I managed to bring out some of the contrast in the sky and make it more interesting which also added to the image.
