 This picture was taken with a wood's lamp (ie black light) as my single light source. I have fluorescein in my eyes. Fluorescein is a chemical that doctors place in the eyes to help detect corneal abrasions or foreign bodies. Now you know what we do when it’s slow in the ER.

The hardest part of this picture was holding still for the longer exposure since a wood's lamp gives off very little light. I have a bit of noise which may count against me... but I liked it, so I kept it.

Be curious to hear how you did this without spot editing. Creepy!

I'd love to know how you did this under basic editing... Shining laser beams into your eyes? :) Very dramatic, works well. The overall blue colour cast is a bit strange.

IMHO, I don't really like the green stuff in the eyes. Lighting may be a tad to dark to the left side of the face, and a closer crop might have improved the image as well

Could you brighten the face a bit without loosing the intensity of the eyes?

Tighter crop would have gotten rid of the distracting collar and top of the head, the eyes would have been even more dramatic. Pretty freaky!!
