Anna was tuning a bass guitar at band rehearsal. This is a tight crop from the shot. Doubled up and inverted horizontal, her head position made it easier to match cheeks. Put a texture overlay to frost up the background. Spot healed and clone stamped the connections blotches and stray bits. Desaturated and used Alien Skin Exposure 3 film filters to create the colour tones. This was done within an hour of submission, so it still is at the draft stage, I just wanted to enter. Thank you for the comments.

Amazingly nr. 8, yours and mine at 27! :(, should have been in top 3! cause they where the best "Expert Editing" entries of the challenge. But hey.. this is popular voting, and we all know how well that goes! :P

Congrats on freaking awesome photography/image!! :)

Ok, this is one of my 3 favorites! and 1 of them is my own! ;)

I should give you a 1 or 2 point if I played a bit dirty and did everything just to win myself (or get a higher position, maybe a ribbon?) :P

but Im going to be honest!.. and give this a 10! Cause I like it very much, and there isnt a single thing I could say to make it better! :)

pd. this one and my other favorite will compete for the first and second places!.. and If Im lucky I'll get a 3rd position!.. and that would be great enough, beeing my first contest here at dpchallenge!... still being member for years! ;)

Good luck in the challenge

I keep coming back to this image. Earlier, i gave this a 10 and faved it. But i couldn't think of a comment that best describes what this image invokes in me. Maybe it's the intensity in her emotion, maybe it's the darkness in it, maybe something else. Can't wait to read your notes about this image. For now i will simply keep coming back to this page and admire your work.

i like the idea and wonder if it would be even stronger if the two portraits were dissimilar - something like comedy and tradgedy

Good idea, good work but IMO with a lot of technical flaws. I like the gemini idea, although if one is air one earth, one shall look up and not also down, just in opposite direction. The work on the cheeks is well done but looks odd and too visceral. The Rorschach image is a good idea here. I believe that you shall continue this idea again. the sitter is wonderful and the gaze worth a novel. 7
