Challenge 74: Neon Eyes in the Dark (comments wanted)

KurtPreston

Was playing around with an idea since I am not near any neon lighting (that I think would make a good subject). So am playing around with using camera flash in a vary dark room to give me just enough contrast and highlights to use a "glowing edges" filter and changing the hue a bit.

I like how your experimenting w/ your shots. It's tough for me to find a focal point on this picture though.
Since so much pp has been done on this.Try blacking out the entire area except the eyes, and blow them out then use extrude or something like that.

Good luck on the challenge.

You're right! I looked at it again with your comments in mind and found my eyes wandered around quite a bit. I think I just fell in love with the effect that the flash had on the curtain's pattern Seperate shot for another time and distracts from the image I was trying to bring out.

Cropped a bit more, airbrushed the curtains out and adjusted contrast.
