I wanted to do a simple but striking portrait, with a slightly surreal/alien feeling. Used the 180mm f2.8 PQ for this one.

..and so beautifully done! You exceeded what was needed. I like that, "Good enough! Isn't!!" Where did the smokey feeling come from?

Asher
 
by boosting the blues, you have also emphasized the subtle network of veins beneath the skin giving an even more alien feeling. Nice job, I love the eyes, they are haunting.

Graham,

I'm glad to hear that you planned this in advance. So do you have a bunch of others with this presentation? BTW, did you enlarge her eyes?

Asher

Yes, a mild enlargement but some of her other photos on her folio give the appearance of even larger eyes (when she has more eye makeup, I assume). She has a slightly alien look, which I like.

I shot 6 models on that day, hoping that at least one of them would turn out well. The others aren't really worth showing.
