Photoshop - practice makes perfect

I have decided to practice using Photoshop, I have used it in the past but I like messing about with photos before I choose the final one. Here I have edited some pictures of myself, that I may use in the contents page as most magazines have a different story in the contents than on the front cover and double page spread. The original image was too bright and against the purple wall and the colours really contrasted, so I edited the colours and highlight of the photo which is the second image below. The yellowy colour looked so much better than the purple! However, I didn't like the darker effect on the outside of the image as it looked silly so I finally used to brush took and made the background all one colour and edited out any fly away hairs I had.
