What’s Your Preference?

From September 16, 2011

as you can see i removed the red cap on the left, sharpened the image, darkened it, but most of all used the picnik feature "fancy focus". since the entire shot has a fairy tale feel i decided this treatment made it even more mysterious.

Nice work. What did you do to the hair?

nothing

my daughter just has this super fine hair that stuck to the wall - what we discovered accidentally.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the weeds in the foreground. I keep looking at then instead of what I am supposed to look at.

I actually love the weeds up front. It seems to me like the handsome prince is spying on the beautiful princess (like in the movies).

I also like the weed in the foreground, not really sure why, but i think it makes the photo as a whole more three dimensional. but the idea with the prince is infinitely better - thanks rebel

. and thanks for making the time for commenting Firedawg, much appreciated!

This is a great concept, I like the fact that her hair looks somewhat suspended and she looks as if she's thinking about something or perhaps someone. Nice job on the editing, I like how the face painting stands out too.

thanks a lot zona5101

and tony: thanks for the detailed feed back. you know: i had this idea to have my daughter and her best friend put some temporary tattoos on their faces for quite some time, and last week finally everything came together: the time, the weather, the desire of the girls to make some extra bucks (yes, i only get them to work with me for money). you can see some more shots on my flickr page. everything about this photo however happened accidently.... unplanned and unexpected.
