New World Tableau: Clarrice Cinquetti's Pensive Self-Portrait

I love the lacquered look and the melancholy gaze Clarrice captured in this self-portrait, found on her Koinup profile; as it happens, she tells me, she just took it while "trying out lounge furniture I had just purchased."  Once taken, she uploaded it into the Picnik image editor, "played with the exposure and contrast a bit and then framed it. Picnik is very easy to use and has taught me quite a few techniques that I also use when using GIMP."

She tells me her avatar's look somehow reflected her real life state at the moment she took the screenshot.  "I was in a blah kind of mood that day," she says, "and it seems my pictures usually reflect how I am feeling at the time. I have noticed that in a lot of my work lately and now wonder if others subconsciously have the same thing happen to them."

- Whenever possible, name the Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.) 
- Moderately Photoshopped images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were added.  (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
