yes, that's my sign. I was proofing for the painting with light challenge, when i looked for this new open challenge, and found this pic appropriate. Not perfect, but ....the rules are the rules, no spot editing.
Tech: studio in the dark, shutter bulb mode, myself shooting a flash lamp in my face , two times,with each attitude, one with red gel on the flash, another with blue. then closing the shutter.
Canon D60 with Canon 50mm 1.4@f22
Post process: convert from RAW with PS CS, crop,slight saturation adjust, some rotation, frame, resize, mode 8 bits/channels,USM, save for web.
Much fun to do this !

Nice cropping - I like the apparent dominance of one and submissiveness of the other.
It's a shame that on the second part of the illumination the head was not put a little farther away - to give the head a bit more "thickness" did that make sense!
I also think the blue "face" seems a littlehigher on the "head" than the red one-
The only real problem I have with this is the 3 chains - it gives away what it is. When I did a similar picture some years ago - we taped a piece of chain from the neck to the chest - first on the left then on the right for the second exposure. It then looked like one loop of chain.
We were working with film and double exposure - so it was easire to do it that way.
No of course you would do that in software - but the tape and single chain means
a: you are definately within the editing rules
b: it leaves a better pic than editing

This one is quite amazing. Expressing different moods by the look of faces and colors at the same time. It has taken me a long time trying to figure out how this was done. I think I have got it now. Technically very good.
This is very awesome! Very neat way to incorporate a double exposure. Love the color change and composition. Exposure and focus very good. (One slight distraction is that red spot between the two images) - Excellent job!
niecly done! I love the one red head and one blue one... just extremely well done... I also like the tilt instad of just standing straight up. very cool. good luck!
