for those who asked this was done by me aiming a floodlight with a blue light bulb in it at black fabric on the wall, and i sat in a very dark room in front of it sideways in a chair with the shudder realease cable in my hand. the bulb wasnt too bright so when processing the raw image i chose tungsten lighting and it made that real nice blue. did some selective color, curves,neat image, and minimal cloning to get out a few weird red dots in it.and there ya have it.

compleatly agree with amandalore, seriously shoulda have placed something like this in single lightsource! Very straight forward concept, but it still does a great job at grabbing your attention the full photo. Very Nice job!

Nicely done. It's very simple and straight forward, but the background still has alot of interest to it.

I gave this one an 8. The silhouette gainst the silky blue background is a nice touch. I wish it was a tad sharper but aside from that, it finished pretty well in this challenge ;)

Very cool shot. Great blue shades and the background texture gives it a nice flowing feel. Excellent pro essing to get all the black to flow niceley together. I personally prefer this to the outtake shot. Good work.

Almost an abstract, in a way. Has a pensive feeling to it.

Very nice! Wish the silhouette were a touch sharper but that's a sniglet. How did you light the background? Painting with light?

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

Gets my top shelf vote...10
