33. Photo of you that you like

Describe a photo or picture of you that you like

You should say:

where you took it

when you took the photo

how you feel about it

I have to confess that I'm an avid selfie-snapper because when someone else takes a picture of me, I'm almost never satisfied. For this reason, I remember all those 2 or 3 cases when I didn't delete a picture taken by another person.

I think I'll describe one close-up which drew the most likes and comments on Facebook and Instagram recently. It sounds silly to care about something as small as a like on a picture, but it's our reality. To tell the truth, I didn't expect that photo to break the Internet but it did.

Several weeks ago I came home after my friend's birthday party. I had a very beautiful makeup. Dark smoky eyes and glossy lips... I decided such heavenly beauty had to be captured forever, so I took my selfie stick and started experimenting. But I didn't like the pics. My mom wanted me to help her about the house, so she decided to speed up the process and help me get a beautiful picture.

She took pictures at eye level and from a higher angle to exaggerate the size of my eyes and avoid a double chin in a picture. She took numerous of them as my pictures never come out perfect after the first snapshot. Then we picked the best one, I used some filters to manipulate the image, you know, to erase blemishes...such things. After that I cropped the image so that nobody could see the background and immediately uploaded it to Facebook and Instagram, awaiting for likes and comments.

Frankly speaking, I really liked the way I looked because I was genuinely happy in the picture and looked simply amazing on that day. So, probably, even if my friends hadn't liked this pic so much, it would, anyway, be one of favourite ones.
