Going to extremes...

Uploaded: May 04, 2005

Description

Shot at 1/125th at F/11, under studio lights, with the Canon EF 28-135 IS USM lens, then a reasonable amount of Photoshop applied to bring out something a little edgier than a standard portrait...

I really like this, Stuart....I'm attracted to this shot. My 13 year old daughter seems to be enamored with this "gothic" look (groan) and it's a bit scary for me. I like that you've represented a trend in fashion that is becoming very popular particularly with young musicians. Good luck with it!

Great shot, with the pose, and then what you did in photoshop to "spice" it up. Love the contrast! #1321354

I think it is great as well! The PS work spices it up and makes it a very interesting Shot! Great job! #1321969

She reminds me of Pat Benatar. Both portraits I see here are interesting. The Photoshop effect gives this one an extra advantage. Very well done! #1490574
