    dang that's gotta hurt.


    This is sweet. Might benefit if it was a tad brighter, maybe just 1 EV brighter.

    Also color, the blue/green tint is cool, have you played with red, yellow, or others?

    Re: can't get away...

    mr yuck,

    thanks for the compliment. I purposely shot it a little dark, just to give more of a somber mood to it, and to change the pace from the rest of the shots in the series which are brighter and a bit higher contrast.

    Yeah, played with the color, and arrived at this one just because of, again, the somber emotion i was trying to get across, with the eyes closed and the head tilted downward. I reserved red and yellow for the more intense colors, the green for the weird stuff, the blue and violet for somber/low key

    Re: can't get away...

    That's very interesting.
    Maybe a bit of light on lower face would help but then again, maybe it wouldn't.
    I like weird.
    Keep Shooting!

    Brent, this is very good and goes along strong with the series so far. i like the lighting as is, and not seeing the mouth at first bugged me but I think it works well like it is. I agree with Greg about it looking a bit off kilter, possibly due to the hand on the left being lower down than the other hand. . .also the ear. The head looks straight. I think if you tilted it slightly clockwise it would remedy it. ( I do not think it's a major issue, though). Great work

    Re: can't get away...

    mm, i agree with you guys. I think i noticed the slight tilt during PP then something else caught my eye, and i forgot about it. Thanks for pointing it out. I do think the hand and ear contributes to it, but I think it is also a bit tilted.
