Photoshopping of selfies

This is my first attempt in photoshopping a picture. This selfie has been lighten up and is given a certain effect that makes it look unreal. I do like the effect but the picture less.

This is the assignment I needed to do for art education.
The assignment was, to tell something about yourself without words and express yourself in the things you like or that remind people of you.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish in time but this is the result.
