Actually wanted this to be my Transparency entry, but I didn't get it edited in time, so had to stick with the entry I had already submitted.
The PP on this shot was pretty substantial (obviously). I'll try to list everything I did/used (but I'm doing this from memory, so I may leave out something):
crop
multiple layers of filters: film grain, Mr. Contrast, Meloncholytron, poster cutout, concrete, backlit, gaussian blur
LOTS of selective layers of burning/dodging, change hue, color sat
tint brush
clone brush
save for Web
PS And yes, that's actually me... The "shroud" is one of the curtains in my studio/office. I used multiple light sources and white reflective boards to add illumination. |

| Is this a Librodo portrait on acid? WOW! Great use of PS tools to emphasize your point. For some reason I would prefer seeing the eyes a bit more dodged so it stands out more. The grain really works well for this image. |

| Oooooooo! Creepy! Fantastic use of photoshop, although I'm sure you started out with a great photo. Excellent composition. Were you looking in a mirror to set yourself up properly? |

| Awesome shot Jimmy. The processing is really cool, did you use a filter? The lighting is great, I like how the image fades into the darkness. Yes, very eery feeling, great mood in the shot. I also like the narrow crop, I think it works well for the image. The centered comp here works well, it looks good. It might be cool to do a version with the subject framed to the side looking into the darkness too. And the title is very fitting. This probably would have done well in the challenge. Really cool shot. |

| The title goes well with this photo. This is a really great effect. The look of the arm is really well done. Almost like looking at the bones through the garment. Excellent! |
