Eyes Wide Shut

November 19, 2008 Elaine-

Since my last selfportrait scared everybody so badly, I decided to make it up to you by shutting my eyes and being nice and calming..

    Interesting capture. The processing with the layer works well here.

    Didn’t scare me!This is cool, looks like the cover of an Indie music CD, a little Curt Cobain in style. Great processing

    another amazing post, your processing in this is top of the line, I agree this should be printed and hung somewhere prominent

    Great processing again, the layers and textures are something that challenge me at the present! I agree with others here this one should be printed!

    Dammit – Kristian’s made the point before me!! Serves me right for being so late I guess ๐Ÿ™ I know what you think abt that movie, but your shot reminds me of it as well – the yellowing of the image, the decay creeping across the body: it’s like you’ve got the wretched heart of the city, the bleak disorienting city, crawling into the image. And that’s *very* cool. Se7en meets Leeloo ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Great processing, now I like the other one better, just for the fact that this one has a much darker feel to it for me. Great scary effects though. Nice

    Awesome gritty details and intense processing. I’m diggin’ the square format…it does something for me that I’m not sure how to describe. I think I’d be scared more by this one than the other shot.
