I used my digital camera on automatic settings on a ten second timer to take this picture of myself. Its a bit pixely but i'm still learning how to rectify this - its difficult in dark settings with this type of camera.
I then cropped and enlarged the picture, used noise reduction and played with the brightness and contrast.

haha, it wasn't that it was unhelpful, i just didn't understand it - but thanks for clarifying, and for the 9.

Just to clarify my vague unhelpful comment, I personally didn't find this sexual, per se. It's more like a black and white horror movie. Very cool.

Oh well, it was my first try. I guess what i learnt is that if you are going to try and stretch the topic then you really need to come up with a more fitting title. I didn't think that the picture was disturbing, it was supposed to be a look at one girls intimate thoughts - which as far as im aware don't have to be sexual.
I do agree with the grainy pixelated comments and i want to try and work on this. I guess it just takes practice

Looks too pixelated for my taset - either cropped too much or sharpened too much.

this would be the perfect picture if it dident have so much grain, seriously, i absolutly love this but the amountof grain makes it look like its from a cell phone and streched out.so ill give it a 6 if the grain were lower it would be a 10

Wonderfully disturbing. I'm not getting "Intimacy", though.

The title doesn't give me an 'intimacy' feel (but no points off for a bad title)... the crop is a bit tight. Her hands look unnatural... like they're claws or something. Sorry.

Nicely done. Looks like you took this thro glass shower door which kind of disorted the image a bit esp the fingers.

There is just no intimacy in this shot IMO. As far as the image itself, it's an interesting shot, but I dont like the way her hands look in her hair. It makes them look very strange.

9 for sheer batshit lunacy
03/27/2008 12:16:13 PM
Not sure what makes this intimate? She is alone after all...
03/27/2008 02:47:11 AM

03/26/2008 11:04:18 PM

Very harrowing image for some reason

I love the look of this one and the intimacy of self is interestingly conveyed very well.
