Tired Eyes (mine)

Two versions, which one, hmmm... in the end I think I have to go for the top one, more natural compared to the moonlight vampire look of the other one ...






The first image I processed of this shot I felt had a little something in her 'look' that intrigued me. A "don't mess with me if you know what's good for you", combined with a hint of vulnerability kind of look which I don't think came over as strongly as it might. 
So I've re-processed the image. This is much harder than the somewhat bland original. It should provoke either a hate it or love it reaction which is what I want. Right now, I like it, but I suspect that probably I'll hate it in the morning ... That's how it goes more often than not. I've spent some hours working this up to a style that's interesting to me, I'm sort of happy with it, but perhaps it's over the top. So I've found leaving it for a day or three gives a required distance, and then with fresh eyes, see how it looks. So, showing for a limited period. The original shot for comparison is below.

That's It Folks!

  The gate is now shut. With no one around, it's time to turn off the lights and leave. It's been fun and maybe one day someone will...
