Challenge: Silence IV (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Diemen, The Netherlands
Date: Feb 28, 2004
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Emotive, Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Feb 29, 2004

 This shot was taken in the evening so that I had complete control over the light conditions. I put two desk lamps very close to my face (do you see the reflections of them in my eyes?) tried various expressions and compositions from which I liked this one most.

In PS I mainly used the saturation and levels function to create the effect I liked. Hope you all like it although that is something I will find out during the week I guess ;).

Of all the hands or fingers or tape over the mouth I find yours to be very well thought out. The Pink in the whites fo the eyes though seems to pull me away from the picture as a whole

Overkill on blue toning... doesn't add a thing for me, actually it detracts. Image otherwise is strong.

blue man crew? the light contrast in this shot is great and the color is intersting.. might have been better without the light reflection in the subjects eye.. balance and compostion are great..

this is a different twist on the hand over mouth shot, i like it. It is technically fine work but has a alot of lines and angles that disrupt flow of image.

for me it seems as if the blue is the excuse for the image and it does something very strange with the "whites" of the eyes
