my first reaction: wow, this has quite an impact when the picture first opens. very interesting processing. i love the light in his eye contrasting the overall darkness of this portrait.
This takes liver spots to a whole new level. (honest, my first reaction :)) This portrait holds a lot of interest for me, but I can't shake the feeling that this is just a tad *too* dark for me to really love it. Now I like other really dark shots, so what is it about this one I don't like? Could be just simple subject matter - I want to see all the lines of his face, but much of the details are disappeared here. I really don't know - I'm a bit on the fence with this one.
I alternate between thinking this is a mindblowingly brilliant image and thinking that you just applied some Joey Lawrence alien action. Maybe it's somewhere in between.
Ha. No, I don't like using other people's effects on my photos so everything here was done from scratch. In this case curves and dodge/burn. If I had my own action I wouldn't use it.
