Challenge: Closing (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D

Date: Sep 9, 2007
Aperture: 32
ISO: 1600
Shutter: .3
Galleries: Portraiture, Studio
Date Uploaded: Sep 10, 2007

 I had the model start with her eyes open, and then close them as the shutter went off. This was the best take I managed to get. It was lit with a single light from the model's left (I can't afford any fancy studio equipment!!)

The white dots are really distracting

Creepy, but with this close up, it seems like it should be sharper. Basic editing is not easy.

Seems they are already closed? White spots (and streaks) are distracting. (5)

Great idea. It is a little subtle, and might be missed by some, but very creative.

Nice technique, although the effect on the left eye (as viewed) almost seems more pronounced than that on the right eye so a slight shame that it is cropped

Focus is a little off for my liking and the flash has detratcted from the effect.
