 As I'm sure you've already surmised (if you know anything about me), I have a dark side that I like to placate from time to time. This shot is actually one of the first I've taken with my new Sigma flash & lightsphere (thank you fotomann_forever).

The PP on this shot included: lots of burn to remove the background (I shot this in my office/studio) and lots of PS brushes. Some paintbrush and lots of replace color to enhance (and de-enhance) the natural tones. I did overlay one additional image of cracks, and used liquify, channel mixer, and diffuse glow.

This image was inspired by an image that is no longer available on DPC (I really wish it was because it was fantastic), but it left a strong impression on me when I first joined. It's not quite up to that standard, but I'll take it for now. :-)

After seeing this shot, more than one of my good friends told me that I need serious therapy... But then again who doesn't?!? HAHAHAHA
