    Thank you Dan, not sure if I am on track or not.

    Very Poe-like, except for the bare arm, which somehow seems out of place.

    Would also be interested in a tighter crop and see if that leads you anywhere.

    I love the interpitation and your idea here but...I'm not a big fan of the lighting...or maybe if you were further away from the backdrop as to make it a little blury...

    Thanks Karrie, I think it does need some background work

    I like the concept. I wonder if playing with the levels and darkening it some will help tone down the background. Maybe a mask layer to keep it from distracting?

    I tried a new layer blurred it out and then erased...changed it on the one I entered...
    This comp is testing alot I haven't done in awhile as well as new things in post processing!! I forgot how hard it was to focus on nothing and set a timer so I could run back and "pose" then rearrange and do it all over again. I also had to go out and buy Adobe Phoshope CS3 for photographers book to figure out the easiest way to change things around since on limited time! Not to mention I aged myself with extra processing which is never fun!!! (I know what I want for Christmas-botox!!!)

    FWIW, theatrical liquid latex does wonders for quick aging; just put a little on the skin and make faces until it sets. It makes perfect wrinkles in exactly the same places they will eventually turn up. It's easy to overdo, though.
    Blog - updated irregularly
    Photos - still under construction, suggestions welcome

    Thank you for the info - I am going to write that down as my daughter is in drama. I ended up using photoshop CS3>filter>liquify>pucker ( I think those are the right sequence of steps)
