    Thanks, and yes. I'm hoping to pick up hair selection skills and going with something lighter, like sky; or if that fails, something very dark or black--Maybe a close up of her eye.

    Thanks Mary, and again Richard. I'm hoping it'll be different no matter which direction it goes.

    Best is to use channels, unless you want to buy DigitalFilmTools' PowerMask.

    I don't find this weird or eerie at all, it's like the classic black net veil.

    What I think would bring out its potential is a hdr treatment and a hdr setting, and some burning.

    Thanks Neil. I pulled out just the blindfold and eyes, then tried it on some sky/cloud photo backgrounds I have. I may try something like that. I want to come up with some sense or meaning with whatever pieces I use beforehand though. I think adjectives like; wierd, eerie, spooky, creepy, etc, are just things folks say off the cuff, to some extent. Even though this has been inspired by Magritte's ~bags-over-people's-heads~ which I feel is 'creepy', I'm thinking I can bring it around with some context. Or not :)

    Ya gotta give it a go mate!

    I remember a cartoon/comic series which had a character with a similar black mask over his eyes - thief?

    I remember something like that too, but it's been years and years since I've looked at a strip.

    Like where you got this heading. So many different ways to approach this idea. Figuring it out is a serious chore in itself.

    Thanks Michael. I should have done something with it right away; because, yeah, the more I think about it, the more I can come up with. It'll be 3-4 weeks before I can get to it. I'm hoping something with fall into place by then.
