 I'm going crazy. At first this idea seemed really solid to fit this challenge (Ever since I saw the first Waldo challenge ideas have just been pumping in my head) but also as a real first studio experience. But when I started the actual process of taking the picture, it was another thing. The light would create incredibly ugly glare on the glasses, the light I bounced seemed unecessary and I just couldn't get the focus and hold the glasses right. Plus I had no model. I tried I tried so even though I know this ain't gonna do that well, at least I know that I should call a friend to my house to model for me :/

Camera on tripod with timer on, 500W light on floor facing towards me (I need to get a softbox, that's my eye and no I don't wear glasses but Waldo does.

I have green and brown eyes if you are wondering :P

Shot in RAW + levels in photoshop and dodge the eye.

the glare in the glasses above the eye takes a lot away from the photo for me, and the idea that you can only see an eye doesn't really seem to fit the challenge for me. Anyone who doesn't show at least a full face and arm doesn't get above a 5 from me. But I do like this one a lot and you get a 5
