Shadown & Light [Contest Finalists June 2006]
Uploaded: June 12, 2006 11:08:35
I've always loved this portrait. I am resubmitting with some changes in the DD category. I converted to black & white and have used a paint with light action to add more drama to the shadows already in the portrait. I have cropped to a square format for more visual impact and have clarified the image.
