(People #5)

I had so much fun doing this! I was inspired by a blipper (I was so taken by looking through his images that I forgot to subscribe to his journal and have completely forgotten his name :( ) whose journal I only came across yesterday, his photos are absolutely incredible. He had posted a before and after for a really striking image - I was surprised how normal the "before" photo was and realised how much was done in Photoshop, so I did some reading and tried it out myself!

I could have carried on playing with it for hours as it's nowhere near perfect, but I'm really happy with it as a first attempt and I was impatient to publish it :)

Although... I wonder if it would make more of an impact if I also showed the very boring image it came from... because maybe if you don't see the "before", it just looks like a normal photo...? Hmm... I think I've been staring at it for too long.
