My 7 year old daughter, Caitlin, captured in a studio. I have tried to create the sort of image that makes you feel like you've discovered a lost artifact. Hope you like it, but don't imagine it will score well. I predict 5.50 - 5.75 if I'm lucky!
In Mac Aperture Converted from RAW
In Photoshop CS Lots of texture layers, burn, noise, blur, lucisart whyeth filter, melancholytron...
Wings added from photos taken 30 August of a Cicada's wings. Burned on to image having saved them as a brush.
- and here is the one I should have entered!

this is perfect. sorta reminds me of the beginning of the film "Moulin Rouge", that fantasy antique look. Brilliant! and very good choice to use what looks like a high pass filter on her (though I could very easily be wrong). I love it, Fav.
Awesome work Michael!!! FYI, this was my only '10' & obviously my favorite image from the challenge. Her pose is brilliant & your pp was as well :) I was wondering when I'd see another entry from you - are you gearing up for another season of DPL? Keep this up & you'll end in Division A, friend...
gonna fave this as I want to know what brushes you used for the grungy effect. perfect use of photoshop.. I expect this is scoring very well indeed. 10
Wow, this shot is very cool, oddly it makes me think of Saudek“s work even though it looks completely different. Not quite a 10 from me but I gave the next best thing.
Nice shot - Like the tones - Love the look - Dare I say it almost Hannibal lectur feel as in the beginning credits? Would make a wonderful print - nice PP well done.8
