Wow its crazy how BW changes the whole feel of the photo. When I first looked at the picture in BW I liked it, I thought it was "sad". ok maybe sad isnt the best word but more emotion was in it. Then I looked at the original and the first word that came to mind was "surfer" ahahaha I like them though, the part of the necklace under the chin is a little distracting. But other than that I like it, your eyes look great

I love the work done to the eyes!

 

[frankxdelrosario]

thanks for the words, though I'm not sure how I feel about the eyes, a bit overpowering. possibly?

 

[MyaLover]

Not at all, I think they are great

 

[edge0freason]

i really enjoy this photo
what post processing steps did you take? I really enjoy the effect it was given

 

[frankxdelrosario]

oh man, i just go about it when in shop. basically a bunch of layer masks and such. along with dodging on the eyes.

this gives me an idea...

the next time i process an image like this, I'll create a little written tutorial, and post it in the one forum. i'm pretty sure i read some where there was a section for that.

 

[edge0freason]

id really enjoy the post production write up

 

[dab_20]

I second that^

Very nice I love it... the eyes look so cool. Good contrast and focus

great picture, b&w is used perfectly!

 

[cameramike]

the black and white sets the moods. and while i like the p&p work i do feel its a little over powering, your mind concentrates to much on the eyes and it doesn't let you wonder to the rest of the photo. good job
