Cool photo. I like it in B&W. You can keep the green version

Sorry, I don't find this green creepy. More like pukey Plus that version is quite a bit lighter than the B&W.

Maybe you can do some selective coloring. Like lighten (dodge) just the eye ball and turn the highlights to a nice red...

But don't ask me how to do it. I just got my PS and don't know how to use it yet :lmao:

perhaps the green isn't subtle enough..I definately could experiment with lightning/dodging, but that's going to ruin the artisticism behind the original too much. I'll just roll with what I have

I agree with you. This photo is plenty nice enough as it is. If you don't tell people it is a doll, they may not even realize it.

I freakin hate dolls! (no offense) It's like when people are afraid of clowns. I think the ones my grandmother had in her spare bedroom scarred me for life when I was little!

The straight b/w version works well for me. Very very creepy!

Nice matching of shot and title. Perfect creepy exposure, dark, but still shadow detail.

Well done.
