He looks cyanotic to me ie. blue face especially lips, and ears. I hope he wasn't like that in reality.
Hi Rob and Pania I don't see a blue colour cast May be it is an illusion because he wears a lot of green and his eyes are also green. Or I'm getting colour blind too
Rob ,this is the first time I have seen a colour image by you. I like the photo as is . I have to tell you that you have very photogenic models. I usually look bad in the images if I pose. And the eyes of your models are always meaningful.
Hi, Binnur. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who may be color blind. Haha. Seriously now, the original had blue color cast coming from the available lights. That I was able to see. I auditioned several degrees of warming filter and settled on this one. I still wanted the blue cast on the right side background so I feathered that to show some shades of blue. I felt that the combination of blue and yellow on the overall image would create a nice harmony. I think some people would disagree. I can't really argue with that. I'm partially colored blind after all - which makes color rendition very difficult for me. It usually takes me 10 times as much work compared to doing B&W. Oftentimes, I go through many revisions before settling on one I like. Even then, I still second guess myself. This is one reason I posted Fabian here at CiC to get some (hopefully) positive feedbacks. Having said that at the risk of sounding self-serving - Binnur, I appreciate your kind words. Your input is helpful.
It's the shoe polish make up that I give to my models to make them look photogenic. Haha. As for their eyes, they can't help but stare at my chicken costume, which I wear in my photo walk.
Binnur, I've seen your profile picture and you look gorgeous in that picture. (No need for shoe polish make up.) Kidding aside, I think you should use your photo on your posts. (I mean it.)
Good idea to have a chicken costume
To tell you the truth , so far four members thought that I was male and I had to add a notification next to my name indicating that I'm female. I have been a bit lazy to use my photo as avatar but after your kind comments, I think I will do it. Thank you very much
