Challenge: Point of Color (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Location: Hidden Valley Ranch, Sage, CA
Date: Jul 6, 2008
Aperture: f/2.5
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/15 sec
Date Uploaded: Jul 6, 2008

 Fun shoot- wanted to do something different. I covered myself with black oil paint, hung garbage bags over the windows to my home office and proceeded to eat maraschino cherries! Overall a very good time- except for the shower afterward- I've still got black paint in my pores- but very worth it! My first challenge

The only lighting was natural light through the door- varied the amount of light by closing/opening the door. Wasn't sure how the details would show up on some peoples monitors due to the dark nature of the shot. After viewing it on a couple monitors I'm asking myself if I should have lightened it a bit to include more details on others monitors.

Any and all comments very appreciated- I'm here to learn!

This is really fantastic. I think you got totally robbed score-wise. Into faves.

I think people are going to love or hate this one. Very creative. A little less shiny on the makeup and I'd give it a 10. 9 from me this time around

I would have voted higher if it were just a little brighter

I find the frame distracting. Otherwise, great shot.

Looks like this could be fantastic but is too dark for me to see anything really. If this were a little brighter with the cherry and the eye's really standing out then it would be a high scoring image for me. But as it is it's just way too underexposed

Good composure but IMO the cherry is a little on the dark side
