Re: Intensity
I'll be the first to say I really like this. For me, it all just 'works'.
And I like your rather philosophical explanation for 'why'.  I can relate..Nikon D70

Re: Intensity
Woah! This is quite a really scary image for me... I once read a book by Dean Koontz called Intensity. I can so see this image on the front cover!!.
If you’re alone with your friend in the woods and a tiger’s chasing you, you don’t have to be faster than the tiger, you have to be faster than your friend.
Re: Intensity
Scary indeed! Nice shot...make the eyes whiter for it to be more scary
Re: Intensity
Very nice shot! I think it does the effect for me!
Re: Intensity
Clearly an error in naming this composition Rooz.....Perhaps 'Night of the Ninja'
 I do like it though. The composition, the PP treatment and the selective focus work well. I'm left wondering if you would have produced a little more focus on the eyes how that would have impacted on the image? Even playing with a slight same diagonal band of focus across the eyes somewhere  . Would be interesting to see  Either way very creatively handled and a dramatic composition and treatment(particularly the corner shadow areas on either side of the nose under the brow), and well worth the effort Rooz cheers marco
Re: Intensity
lol night of the ninja...when i showed my wife she said "hmmmffff so now you think you're a super hero. [rolleyes]"
thanks for the comments. the eyes in focus didnt have the sinister, dark, scary look. it was quite a different feel which is why i went with this one. EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
Re: Intensity
Not scary enough Rooz - now if the eyebrows met over the bridge of the nose that would be scary

Re: Intensity
