I just thought a few of you might want to see the original portrait that I
used for the "Burning for You" image:

I want to mention that I know the color and tonality of this image isn't
that of a standard portrait, but that was intentional. I wanted something
different, something that would get people's attention. I also want to add
that this was shot on slide film, and that the "look" of the image came
from the lighting and not from Photoshop. (For those people keeping track
of such things.) I did use Photoshop to fix one or two minor skin
blemishes, and a few dust spots on the scan of the slide. However, there
was no "creative manipulation" involving Photoshop. This is how the slide
actually looks, and it is also pretty darn close to how the scene looked to
the naked eye when shooting.
As for the odd cropping, I had considered later adding something into the
right half of the frame when I took this shot. The large empty black area
was reserved for that purpose.
As always, comments are always welcome.
take care,
Glen
