This is (and i mean nothing aginst the origional) way better than the origional.

the lighting is more refined with in the technique used in both shots. the sharpness plays better acrossed this than the former...and the face is truly more expressive (when compaired).

to me this tops the origional shot by far. it brings a real conection to the viewer that the other failed to have at any high level.

the energy to is different here, and conveys different feeling and emotional value...it is far less cold. and far more touching/caring.

truly a great image....with alot to say.

the title suites it as well.

What an excellent tribute to your father. His face is so expressive and detailed and you've captured that without being pandering. Looks flawless to me. Caught my eye immediately when you posted it in the B&W thread.

Comment by LevT:
Thanks for comments guys! While it indeed was somewhat underexposed at the time of shooting, I could easily bring the shot out from RAW but I liked this "glow in the dark" (pardon the cliche) look much more. I have dozens of perfectly exposed shots of Liz which probably are not much different from what other workshop participants have. Here is for something different :)
