used curves and burned some spots
then raised the contrast and brightness

Image Comment:
Long Exposure NR: Off
This is some radical processing and I can see from the comments below it's a love it/hate it sort of thing. I find myself in the latter camp. At the same time, I hope the subject matter here gets recycled into some future shots because those gas maks present both interesting shapes to the eye as well as a lot of emotional/psychological aspects to the mind.
This is one of the scariest photos I have ever seen. If I have nightmares tonight, I'm PM'ing you :-) Seriously, very well done. You made a lightbox of sorts out of your oven, I see. What a creative idea. The grain really works here, BTW.
Now there's something you don't see every day. Putting them in the oven is a nice touch! A very apocalyptic vision with an illustrated-style, fresh and original. Almost looks like a male/female pair.
Whoa. . .how creative! You're "the MAN"! The added grain is an awesome touch to this photo. And the high contrast works really great! Kind of a refreshing pop of interest :)
I really love this! It is so creepy. The grain is perfect for the subject. Now I will peek from the side before I just open my oven and look in! Haha! :)
LOL at the fact that you put them in the oven......certainly appropriate (and I have to ask, why do you own gas masks, or did you buy them just for props)? I am usually not a fan of this type of processing but I think with this subject matter it works.
