Another portrait shot... No photoshop other that converting to B&W and re-sizing. Im not too sure. There is no depth at all.. looks like a cut out.

Glad to see you are experimenting with different techniques. Just for fun, try cloning out the finger tip touching the face. Start with just a bit of separation between the finger tip and face but if that doesn't work, clone out the whole finger. Also see if that improves the one touching the thumb. I like the simplicty of the shot but the multiple angles of the dark fingers make it a bit too busy.

That is a photo with nothing done to it?! Looks a bit drawn for lack of a better word. Is it my eyes or is the subject realy out of focus. It seems to have really soft edges to me. I do think it would make it look even more like a cutout if it were sharper though. It reminds me of some type of artwork you would see on an album cover or poster with writing to the left of the image. You really come up with some very different and artistic shot Kunaldaswani, nice photo.

Very artsy indeed. I like it! I agree with clockdoc about the finger. I also might lose a little of the white space on the left. I'm with xxpinballxx when he said, "That is a photo with nothing done to it?" I'd love to see the original if you care to share.

I think that's a fantastic shot.

I think with the person so far off to the right, there needs to be more to the whole image. It looks like it would work great as part of some sort of additional graphic design. That white space seems to beg to be filled up with something.
