3rd:contemplating the feelings *by Abstract

Color-hue adjustment is the only PS treatment done on the photograph.
contemplating, hence the inclined face.
i think, purple hue is soothing and portrays feeling better than bluish/sepia tone.

Thank you for the detailed critique Iso. sparkle in the eye is my favourite part too.
as far as font is concerned, i wanted something very very simple, with smooth-round curves...so finally settled down on this simple ones (almost "arial", with a bit more curves ). infact to decrease the emphasis on words, i didnt even capitalize c...t...f.

A great image indeed, positioned perfectly. The catchlight sparkle is a neat little touch on this - a real feature even though it so small. The type is in the right place but I don't care for the font. Though we are here to discuss photography and not typography I realise. Nice one Abs.

Well done Abs this looks excellent mate.
Paul 29-Jun-2005 06:48
Superb Abs. This is an iconic image for record covers and has been done to varying degrees of success for years and yours is first class. If it had a Blue Note Records stamp somewhere i would never pick that this was entered in a light hearted challenge on in internet forum. Excellent.

I like this Abs. Did you use a gel or did you get the purple glow in PS? Dorys
