| beautiful shot!! amazing...! i'm an amateur photog & i have tons of questions about how you accomplished this.... this is way, way, way beyond my skill level. you obviously brought in lighting, right? something about her skins looks 'surreal'. why is that?? also does the camera have something to do with it? i have a digital rebel xt, & i doubt i could get a shot like this with it... |

Thanks. No gel. I prefer to work with a full color image if I am going to work it up more in post. It makes it easier to create masks and such. |

Awesome, Richard! Congratulations on finally getting your second FS ribbon, and with something that isn't a landscape, and is dark! All of the pieces you posted are excellent. Fine work. And beats the crap out of bubbles. :-)
