 Might not be "crossdressing" enough but my other idea didn't pan out. Good thing I used to be a cigar smoker, else I'd probably be feeling pretty ill right about now. Not a bad looking dude. I'd do me. :-P

-Match color, neutralize, lowered color intensity slider a tad and raised the luminance slider a bit.
-curves adjustment
-Brightness/contrast adjustment
-resized and USM
-converted to BW using Channel mixer
-added toning using curves adjustment

Donnie Brasco: "Forget about it" is like if you agree with someone, you know, like "Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass forget about it." But then, if you disagree, like "A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it!" you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like Mingrio's Peppers, "forget about it." But it's also like saying "Go to hell!" too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means forget about it.

the lighting and composition are great, but I find the expression on the face is trying too hard to look intense instead of just being intense

Seems like too tight of a crop, the black is diestracting. Acually to me the whole hand and arm is distracting.

Really nice exposure, great catcj-light in the eyes and a model with lots of attitude. Great shot.

joenesis! I prefer shots like these, where a full-on attempt is made to cross genders. 7 bump to 8

Hey, waitaminute... I know that guy! I didn't know you were a, um... smoker. Nice protrait and great lighting. ;-)

Not a very strong example of crossdressing IMO. In a challenge like this, exagerating is in place. Overall, the picture is a bit dark for my taste.

i've been looking at this photo for quite sometime now. either the photo doesn't make sense or it's really well done. i can't tell if that's a girl or a guy (no offense to the model). i'm thinking it's a girl doing "manly" things. oh yeah...nice focus, the lighting is good, and the subject is intriguing. i'm rating this one high!

what were you aiming for here??
 03/14/2007 10:30:20 AM
I imagine the ribbons for this challenge will probably go to photos that are only about humour. But this has it all, and for my buck this is the best photo of this challenge with its classic style and excellent technical execution. The lighting is great and really fits the theme.
