I had this idea and put my camera on the super macro setting and was only 4" away from the lens. The camera was on a tripod on a trunk in front of the window, with the blinds creating the harsh shadows and highlights.

Not a great place, but not a bad score. Still- underrated. I love many of your latest shots, but don't get too dark-sided, Judy - I really enjoy your fluffy work as well. :)
looking thru my favs to see how they went in the b&w portrait and came to this one which i've never seen before ...
its just so incredibly dramatic ... such emotion .. dont know if you felt it while shooting, but i sure feel it while viewing!! ..
IMO its wot photography is all about ... not just the creation, but creating emotion in the person who sees it ...
Wow, I just got done looking at all the entries, and I have to say that you had the best representation of this song. Brave to show yourself in an unflattering light such as this. Way to go Juju!
