Only lit by a very small LED torch behind the screen with holes.
The screen with holes and a thin sheet of wood behind me, both attached to tripods and the rest covered by black cloth to avoid further light leakage into the room.
Processing:
- exposure and contrast adjustment
- rotate and crop
- convert to black and white, colorize tea color
- clone out some unwanted light spots

Wow, this entry has been going strong all week, hovering between 7.4 to 7.5, curious to see how it will end.
Initially I had an image where I was turned towards the camera (so 90' turn), but it struck me that this was illogical. It also created a much more messy image of lines of light. The current one is much more clean, showing the body lines.
I paid extra attention to the fingers. Real clasped/folded "prayer" hands looked like a bunch of chopped off carrots. This again is more clean.
Other attention details were head position and just enough of distinction between head and background. Details matter to me.
