 Had a blue metallic coloured helium balloon that had deflated and decided to use it as a prop. Instead of facepaint this time I put a blue gel on the flash.

PP: convert from RAW, drop contrast, drop saturation, levels, blue level tweak to deepen blue flash colour a shade or two, cloned out some grey stubble that was distracting, noise ninja, border, resize, usm, save for web.

From red to blue in one day. You look a little fed-up here, though.

Thats fun, its great to see how creative we can be with the most interesting of 'props'. Whereas most people would discard the deflated balloon, others create art with it. Nice job.

Nicely done. I like the use of the gel. Pretty good DOF as well.

I like the look on your face. :) And that is quite blue, yes. Done well, light-hearted and engaging.

What a great idea! First thing I thought when I saw this, "Violet, you're turing violet, Violet." I'm not calling you a girl, and I hope you're not filling up with blueberry juice! I think you did a really nice job with this one!!
