Congrats for your second place!

Scary!

Very nice job with the makeup, but the shot leaves a bit to be desired.

@locksmagic The photo was taken on the spur of the moment rather than staged. I agree its composure is nothing special, but thought it was pretty cool none the less. Sometimes its the subject that makes the photo, not the clever staging of something dull.

I agree Author and I kind of assumed that was the case here,but on the same token a great subject that isn't properly composed can break the photo. But you could crop out most of the background, play with the curves a bit, and then the channels and it would make this entry really nice. The only reason I criticized it at all is that I know who you are and I know that you can do better than this. If nobody calls you out on what you do wrong then you'll never get better. All that being said I also think this is pretty cool, just trying to make you strive to be better.

@locksmagic ok yes I think you have a good point, I will have a play with the curve and channels and re-upload. Thanks for the advice it is appreciated.

awesome makeup job!!! and i think the one thing that hurts this shot is the flash. maybe messing about with the curves and such will help that... Locks has some great pointers!
Good Luck!

Heaps better..

Where'd you get a picture of my brother-in-law?
