I am my own model for this shot, as I often am in my dpc photos.
I desaturated the colors obviously. While doing so I lightened the yellows and slightly darkened the reds to give the tones that you now see. I also applied brghtness/contrast as well as a slight curve.
I tried NI on this image but I decided to go without. I think the rawness is ebtter for the emotion of it.
If you notice that my eyes are blurry, its actually tears.
I know people will hate the title. I am kind of tossing up a few different ideas, but I can't find teh exact right words for what I want the photo to say.
I wanted to do a portrait for this challenge, because I think b&w is a very emotional technique and I think the human face is one of the best ways to display it.
I really wish I could spot edit this photo, but I am still happy with how its come out.
Who knows how it will do. My lowest ever score was a self portrait and my second highest was also a photo of me (although not a portrait) so it could go anywhere lol
