Thanks for all your comments.
The 'stars' were added using an 'in-camera' digital filter, "white cross filter". The camera decides where to put the stars, based on bright highlights.
Once the pic was out of the camera, main adjustments were saturation, where I removed all colors except blue and magenta, and increased the hue of blue to make the purple more vibrant.
Oh, and for those who didnt see the irony - you mustnt know many Catholic girls :)
(PS - 24 1's and 2's? Come on, it wasnt THAT bad. Maybe you all thought it was spot-edited? Ah well.)
Which is the greater irony, the handcuffs or the sexy outfit? Anyway, an interesting photo. Did you use a starburst filter to get the highlights off the jewelry?
Hm, someone got her intentions crossed (forgive the pun). The dress really makes this too because it is so skanky and brilliantly purple where the rest of the shot is grayscale.
Were we allowed to disreguard the rules for this one? I can still the purple in the points of the stars. So, to me, this was obviously desaturated and manipulated using layers. Such a pity because the photo is really good except for the hot spot on the handcuffs. Prove me wrong and I\'ll give you a 9 instead of a 1.
Changed to a 9 and eating my hat. Thanks for being so nice about the whole thing.
Not a bad shot, but it could have been better without all the stars, I know what you were going for but it's very distracting to me. But overall a good shot
Frankly, I don't care if this is irony or not. I absolutely love this shot. The composition could be less centered and create more interest, IMO.
I like the use of color, very appropriate. (yes, I'm a recovering catholic)
good idea. I think it would have worked fine without the star filter. exposure is pretty uneven, with the glare on the handcuff being the most obvious overexposure.
