 i expect to get dinged with DNMC for having too recognizable a subject. i just wanted to try blacklight and these small buttons wanted their portrait taken. :)

taken under blacklight with close-up filters attached to lens

postprocess:
levels set to luminosity
levels set to hard light
hue saturation on blue and cyan to tone them down slightly
duplicate layer - cut out filter - gaussian blur - set to soft light fade 29%
new layer (RGB = 56/7/62) set to color, opacity 26%
resize/sharpen/dodge edges/add border/save for web
tweak hue sat levels till i could get an uploaded version to match color and levels of one in PS
