Thanks to you and all the other commenters! This shot was done this way: I was a bit at the last minute and couldn't come with a setup so, I wore bright red lipstick and took a macro shot of my mouth. By playing with high saturation and contrats keys I was able to remove all the skin tones leaving the background totally white. Then I rotated the image, stretched the canvas and Voilà! Is that digital art as someone mentioned? I'm not sure since the image is not really distorted from it's original state...

Hope that answers your questions!

And thanks again for your great comments!

I like this a lot, it feels a little crowded at the bottom. 9

Challenge met. I bet you are getting comments about this not being a digital art website ... but I like your entry. The lips are placed well in the frame, and I like the different shades of reds and pinks. The white background is so difficult to achieve and you did it well. The red border just rounds things of nicely. I don't know what I would've done differently :)

Nice - did you post process to remove the nose (dark nostrils)? If so, how?

very hot... I think the absense of a border would give more of an impact however...
