Nice PS work, it does enhance your eyes. I too will join the folks who want to see the "original" -Cat

Thanks Melanie. I wanted to try something different from what everyone else was doing and rather liked how the processing emphasized my eyes, which to me, are both the most important feature in a portrait, and for us as photographers, our most important tool. CJ

I really like the composition, but I too am interested in seeing the 'original'. --Melanie (mlynn)

And here I thought I was being creative! Yes, a few things got lost in translation - thank God! There was a lot of noise in the picture and I don't have a good noise reduction program. A little blurring didn't help enough, even after converting to b/w, so I went for a more processed look. If I have time I'll see if I can either replace the image or try to rescue this one with different editing. Thanks for commenting though. :-) CJ

PS: You probably wouldn't like the processing in my Exhibition "Self" either! lol

:-) Me too! :-) I cannot help wondering what the original looked like and feeling that something got lost in the translation. :-) Regards. ~jnconradie

I would much rather see this less processed...
