***** post-challenge comments *****
Ended up about where I thought it would. :-) This was challenging to get the focus correct, and never did get it spot on. Using the remote and a single 40 watt light source I pre-focused on a spot and I tried to stay in it. Probably didn't help that I did this at the last minute. He-he.
Thanks Andrew (littlegett) for the recognition! That's way cool. :-P

Just something about this image is completely unbelievable. The simplicity and complexity of this image I feel works out wonderfully on several layers.

This is a unique idea; something about the processing falls short for me. Perhaps less orange and more sepia on the skin tones? An extra point for creativity, tho! :)
