My friend Meichan....

It's my first time, based on my own trial and error experiments, managed to create

this photo. Kindly give your critiques and comments. Highly appreciate it. Rgrds,

Rene.

I find this image quite eye catching and intense, the impression I get is of a pencil or charcoal drawing, the eyes of the subject actually seem to follow you if you move right or left, with quite a haunted expression.

In conclusion I think you have created a dramatic and effective image.

 

Well done!

Very cool!

Rene,

 

I am assuming you would like a comment on how the technique looks. It looks like a cross between an HDR and a charcoal effect (with a little watercolor thrown in), but mostly charcoal. It is a very nice effect that has many possibilities for enhancing photographs. Well done.

Hi all, thank you very much for your comments. I didn't use either HDR or charcoal effects at all in this picture though... :) :)
