I love high key images and I'm entering this shot even though high key takes a beating most of the time at DPC. I wanted to do a different kind of self portrait for the masters and for me...not evil or goofy. This pose & shot weren't exactly what I was going for but of all the pic's I took I liked the soft feel of this one best so up it goes...OK DPC, I'm ready for my beating.
Shot in our studio on a white paper backdrop. Lit with a single flash. Shot in RAW - RAW conversions. CS3 - levels, superfunhappy, neat image, dodge/burn, minor cloning, convert to b&w, unsharp mask, blur, crop, border, save for web.

I knew it was you! I thought I had written a comment during the challenge, but apparently I couldn't find the words to describe how awesome this shot is of you. It's so delicate and caring.
In the morning hour
She waits
For a heartbeat
A sigh
A whisper
And she remembers
I'm not trying to be another K10DGuy with my "poem" comment, but some photos just move me. I write little poems off and on and after seeing this photo and thinking about it for a while, the poem came to me. I love the whiteness of the image (high-key, over exposure, whatever you want to call it). I love her pose and her gaze. She has a lot on her mind, we can't tell if it is happy or sad memories, probably a little of both. It might have been a tad bit better if she were nude and you could not see the bit of clothing, but because it's white it doesn't make that much of a difference. This looks like aimeethetoo so whoever took this photo, Tim or Aimee, you've done a wonderful job and it's very deserving of a 10. I don't normally "go crazy" for people photos, it takes a special one to move me.
beautiful photo, nice processing, interesting pose. I get a strange feeling that something is missing. Oh yes, I think I am searching for her body which is completely obscured by her hands. I am sure that was your idea, but I would probably changed POV a little bit to the right and lower...
Is this with a super-wide angle? It stretches her legs too much and makes them look odd with the rest of her body. The high-key, however, is very well processed. This almost looks like Aimee. 7
