 My son :-) He played Caliban in "The Tempest Deconstructed" at CNU, and did a fabulous job, if I do say so myself. Ditto for the poor girl who had to spend hours putting his makeup on! This was taken in the hallway just after the performance against a white wall, with a large window to his left and fill flash. Seems like a good October shot.

**ETA 10/31 - hope the Halloween challenge doesn't hurt this shot too much!!!

PP - converted from RAW, rotated 3 degrees (his head wasn't quite tilted as far as I liked), cropped, added cyan color cast to bring out the green, increased saturation on all but magenta, dodged/burnt eyes and desaturated veins and cloned out all but one catchlight in each, dodged/burnt face a bit, colored tongue uniformly pink, burnt inside of mouth and cloned out shiny saliva, USM, resized, sharpen with noise reduction, cloned/blurred out a few sharpening hotspots.

I would say that some other style of makeup would flatter the subject much better. The lighting is kind of overdone as it's not smooth, to much hard hitting flash.

I can appreciate the effort, but the lighting seems a little harsh. This might have had more oomph with shadows and a dark background.
