 Day 9 of 30 SPs in 2007

Layered textures. Tried to convey what some people's emotional scars might look like if they were visible to us on the outside.

Don't read too much into this... I was a theatre major in college, so I tend to overdramatize the statements I make. I'm really quite happy these days. ;-)

excellent .... love this photograph ...
i went out the other day and took photos of bark to turn into grunge type brushes, or to use as overlays or wotever ... but havent worked out how to turn the idea into reality in photoshop yet ... wot you've done here is very much like the look i want to achieve, but with bark ... bricks, concrete, sand or any textured surface could work tho ...

Cool idea, dude! Very nice work on the processing here! The tight framing works nicely too!

excellent idea and I love the expression.
I also tend to overdramatize things - it never leads to anything good but that's the way it is. still I can feel happy even overdramatizing:)
and I'm so glad you are happy these days!! :)

LOL - this cracks you up! :P

Very cool idea and well executed! You always have such sharp detail in your images and they are always very artistically and dramatically processed. :D

HONEY - looks so sad and wistful. Great use of overlayering. I love it.

OH! Hello there theatre buddy! I tend to be a little overly dramatic myself ;) I like this picture a lot... I do agree that a lot of people would look that way if we could really "see" them. Nice work!

Very, very nicely composed and I echo Louis analysis of why it works so well.

Oh, okay...I thought maybe that your board slammed your head while out riding the waves today! LOL! Great effects!

Awesome. Composition is great in that the texture breaks up the features of your face, dramatically placing eyes and beard in the frame. Nicely done.
