Actually I like it a lot. It is a very powerful portrait. Of course you
would not want to use that technique with a woman less pretty than this
one <girn>.

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
