8th - Spotty *

Grainy image of a grainy subject :)

Explanation:
I put cosmetic mud mask (comes in a tube as paste) in a plastic cone and then put small dots on my wife's face.
Took about half an hour but was a lot of fun.
Used a small 40w table-lamp as directional side light to enhance the depth feel (because of shadows) of those dots.

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
f/5.6, 1/200 sec, ISO 1600 hide exif

Grain on grain. Clever Abs ;)
I really like the eye contact we get with the subject. It's the last thing that grabs you and makes you focus for the extra bit of time. You sure captured the texture of the dots really well.

She couldn't take a bad shot if you put a burlap sack on her face. She's beautiful as always and this is a great shot.

This is very much fun! Your model must have been itching while you took the pictures. What are the spots? Ann C
