Hi

I really like the processing and especially like the first. the only thing i'd say is the tear streak looks a little unatural...as a hormonal female my first tears usually come from the tearduct (inner corner of eye) unless i've got my head on a "quirky" angle

I really like the first shot a lot!

 

[rdh]

Thank you :¬)

annao: well noticed! The tear is just water; the composition in mind wouldn't have worked if it originated from the inside of the eye.

What do you do for backgrounds Ross - is that a wall or cloth?

 

[rdh]

Riche - strobes, some info at the top of the post.

Thanks Mero. The background is a near-white wall :¬)

I got his autobiography for Christmas. Superb photographer and a tragic loss.
I came across his work back when he was producing it. Amazing the way he worked.

Keep up the good work.
