After a long hiatus and going MIA from the forum, I am finally making another Image post to contribute! :D

I took this a while back, I made a friend do this for me and painted her hand with eyeshadow and nail polish, poor girl!

This was taken with a 400d and a 24-70L f2.8 lens and post-processed (like mad) in Adobe Lightroom (like always!)

Image

Yeah, I know the splodge of light at the top left hand is very distracting :(

What a wonderful image.

The concept and the execution are excellent. A worthy return to the forum.

Indidily an excellent shot but I feel as if there should be an ethereal OOF face to enhance the image even more :)

I have told you before, but it is awesome work! Love the way it all works. The B&W conversion with the tonality really adds to the 'feel' of the shot.

I dont think I have seen any of your work that I dont like. Keep it up.

 LOL OH DEAR!

The good, edible, vanilla flavoured kind - ones which are capable of killing you from too much sugar and butter :)
Photos which I WOULD post up but it's very dodgily shot ;D
What sort of cups did you want them to be? :wink:

"The hand that rocked the fence post" Umn! I guess technically is an excellent shot, but I am not sure what emotion you want it to convey..fear...horror?

All I see in that image is what appear to be heavily botoxed lips. Yeccccchhhhhhh!

And the story? What a load of generalisations and .... let's just say that I wouldn't even wrap my fish in that rag.
