I really like this shot. Especially the colors and frame. Was the subject made up in those colors or did you create the effect with software?

Thanks. This was actually somewhat of a grab shot of a teenage girl who had dropped by a friend to visit my sons. While hanging around, they decided to paint her face, and I thought it looked interesting so I got my camera and snapped a handful of shots. I did enhance her eyes to make them more yellow to work with the stripe. The catch lights were added in Photoshop to give a little more focus and pop.

JoAnna, Glad you like it. You can add a catchlight in Photoshop by choosing the Foreground color to an appropriate hue, Select the Brush tool (I like a slightly soft brush, but if you want a really sharp,snappy catchlight you may want a harder brush) Adjust the Brush to an appropriate size. Apply to the Cornea where you think it should be. I keep it in Normal Mode, and Adjust to Opacity until it "looks right". If the brush is too hard, or the opacity too high, then it tends to appear fake and applied on top of the eye. Have fun, Dean
