Thanks for answering Bill.

Yes I did noise reduction and a bit of clipping to get the surreal skin tone and texture.

Very well imagined and executed Bill....

Not that you have a scary face but it reminds me of something out of a horror film with the low light, in the dark, black and white concept. Good job.

hehehe this is funny. i like it. Rod, the processed look that you are feeling is, i guess, a result of clipping of blue and some green channel, and using mostly red channel during bw conversion. right Bill? btw i like your expressions a lot. -Abstract
ps: now i have to think of something other than an sp for the challenge hehehehe

This is well done Bill - I get the feeling this face just popped out of the dark, which would be quite frightening. I like the light and shadows across the face and brow. :) jano

Nice shot Bill it works very well wiv really great lighting the only problem I'm having is it has a processed look to me. Maybe noise reduction or something you have done in PP. Goodun mate:-)

Great job with the lighting :)
What I just noticed and really like is the effect of the refraction of your eyes and the black background in the eyeglasses.

This is funny Bill - and you certainly are in the dark! Great idea - I'm in the dark too but only figuratively! CJ
