Drab to Fab - PS tutorial

This is an image I recently created out of experimental, procrastinational, boredom and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome! So much so that it's currently my profile pic on teh facebook, bebo etc . . and it got a lot of good feedback. One of whom thought that this was taken by a professional!
So I decided to create a tutorial on how I made this picture. You should see the original! It's a pretty crappy photo of moi but that's the "beauty" of photoshop
