OLYMPUS FREAKIN DIGITAL *spontaniously combusts*
i have had this picture in my library for a good while cuz I didn't know what to do with it, but since i got photoshop this week I have been experimenting alot so i can get used to it and see what i can do with it. On this one I gave her a bit of a glow, the background was distracting so I darkened it, plus I have it a bit of grain to almost seem like a painting. The facial expression is based on a DaVinci painting, so, yes, I'm aware she isn't looking at the camera. Im a big DaVinci fan.

The angle of this head is not too bad. The stray hair covering the eye in my opinion takes away from the image. I don't mind the grain so much but this shot either has many blown areas or the glow blew it out.

The more straight on areas: chest, forehead, fingers seem blown and distracting. I would bet a direct flash was used.
