 self portrait taken with a hand remote.

photoshopped a crack texture the face and fire texture in the eyes.
topaz adjust to give some depth
crop

had a lot of fun with this one.

WOW! I was wondering if i'd get a ribbon, too bad it was based on my photoshopping and not my picture taking ability, applying the crack texture hid a lot of the lighting flaws.

glad everyone liked it!

The texture applied to the eyes DQ'd me, oh well. I thought I followed the rules, WTF is the point of expert editing if you cant do certain things.

at least the pic stayed on the front page for a while.

Oh I didn't realise this was DQ.

Since you know how to apply texture on face I assume you use the same technique to apply texture on eyes. How come SC said it's not? this is so confusing to me. If fire is not texture, then clouds can't be texture.

You were robbed!! Expert editing allows almost anything. Just check any of the other expert editing challenges.

Great processing in the 'cracked skin' - truly plays well into the song title. He is cracking such that we are beginning to see the madness come through. I especially like how you paid attention to the detail of showing the maddness in the eyes as well. The flames of anger and insanity burn within his eyes. Normally, I don't like the overprocessed look that captures and shows off every pore of the skin but in this composition it works. The 'heavy detail' processing gives the image a gritty feel that compliments the mood and feel of the shot.

Back to comment...

Gives new meaning to the expression "There was fire in his eyes"! Awesome processing!
 10/24/2010 08:57:11 PM
Editing could have been better if the layers were blended nicely.
 10/24/2010 05:55:18 PM
Very cool processing! This is why I want to learn how to properly use textures :(
