Learning Lightroom, did some of the post in Pshop, simple window lighting with one reflector, a timer and a tripod.

Thanks!

wrong link?
I think you meant this one?



Not a bad effort.

Thanks, I'm new at this

How closely were you trying to replicate that image?

Cool....I like it, it has kind of a 3D quality as an Avatar. 

Enlarged, it's a little soft on focus.  I'm no expert, but here's what I would do to it....

- Move "white" off to the right to kind of add to lightness of it.
- Pull back on "highlights" a little bit to reduce the peaking
- either sharpen it or boost the clarity a little   
- reduce the contrast a tad....to keep the shadows a little more neutral.  Or maybe just move "shadows" around.
- Then increase the "black" a little to keep black black.
- on a duplicate image....mess around with the manual "curves" and see what comes of it.  Sometimes diving into a color channel can create some interesting tonal effects.
