A reprise of self portrait, with apologies. MRI scan stuck to wardrobe door; lit from left by 500W halogen, small halogen held in right hand to reduce finger shadow, self timer, Canon EF 28-135mm zoom at 65mm.
Scar is just visible behind left ear - acoustic nerve severed as part of operation to remove acoustic neuroma, consequently deaf on left - hence "silenced"!
Post processing: custom white balance using separate white paper shot, digital exposure compensation +1.2, increase contrast, crop, levels, clip black to reduce tape in tlh corner (obscuring MRI data), USM, resize. |

I'm not understanding your title. I can see that he doctor is pointing to the area of the inner ear but why would a surgeon intentionally perform a procedure that causes deafness? That is what the title suggests. |

Nice command of DOF and lighting. |

Seeing the ears add to the 'focus' the title makes. The lighting is very good. I think that the crop may have been just a little too tight |

I like it. It must have been tricky to photograph the lit X-ray screen and still get good lighting on everything else. |
