I thought of this one sleepless night a while back, title and all. I had been trying to get together with my friend Susannah for ages so that she could do hair and makeup for me, but we both have been extremely busy. Our schedules finally worked tonight, and so I went over to her house, and she went to town on my hair and then snapped the shutter for me. My hair was (well, is) so big that it got squished while getting into my car. The editing process for this image was almost absurd. It took close to three hours, and went through maybe six different versions before settling on this one.

That is awesome!!! How creative – I love it!
Ooooo Oooooo! Idea – do a real tight close up in the background with an opacity of 12%
Thank you so much! I’m not exactly sure what you mean about a tight close up in the background though, can you explain more perhaps?
Oh, of the actual picture. A tight close up to see the face, but have it on the far background with an opacity that you can see it’s there but it’s not distracting from what’s up front. Just an idea. 🙂
