Headache

Very good, clean Photoshopping starting from an original idea. What bothers me a little nevertheless is the choice of colors. Top of the face more Yellowisn that the face itself - why ? Also the hand has strange color patches... Maybe it's all on purpose, but I think this would be superb once color-corrected, or even in B&W. What's important here is what's going on - colors add very little if anything at all. Still, very good work. Hope to see a BW version or a revised version. Best regards.

Wonderful work. Well thought out and executed very well.

Very very good! I think it is very original and fascinating. The only things that bothers me little bit are the colors and tones in the face.

Excellent!!!

This is brilliant!!! Gives me million ideas!!!

great job on everything but i dont know if im feeling the hallow around the spoon.... at least not that harsh.

A great idea and a great realization, well done !

Great idea, and you pulled it off well. But, did you have to make him look so pained...

Just excellent job ...

Very nice execution

Brilliant! I love everything about it. The colours, DOF. Now Im going to have a look through your portfolio for some toast to dip in his head.

It is an honor to be noticed by someone whose mind is as vivid as yours! I find inspiration in others such as yourself who think outside of the box.

I like the idea

Good work, I love it. DDD

Wow, this is crazy. Really original and PS work is amazing. Ok I can find a few hotspots if I'm nitpicking, but the alteration as a whole is incredible.

Few photographs read so strongly small and become almost unbearably intense writ large. The fusion of your composition, contrast and colors with your concept is admirable. With the social/domestic spoon image you take T.S. Elliot's stoic pain at life-measured-out-in-coffee-spoons on into the realm of Kafka and even Solzynitzyn -- here is a person habituated in hurt and harm by his manly stoicism. Your palette shows us the nuances and textures of old blood.

 

January 28, 2008 Lasse, today I notice that the title on your photograph has been changed from "Violence" to "Headache." I'd be interested to hear the reasons -- if the change is yours, perhaps you are testing the range of acceptance or communication for your powerful image. I will always prefer "Violence" because I believe you have created an essential expresson of that dynamic between participating parties, especially as it is experienced in ordinary life.

 

Now thats smth! Could use it as a poster or smth similar.

Egg-cellent idea!! Congratulations!!

Prehistoric brain surgery?

 

Absolutely wonderful. What makes it great is knowing how it was made, and how well you put it together to make it!

 

There's something about the background I really like. It reminds me of a circulatory system, which really makes me feel a bit of a twinge of a migraine in my head. Brings the whole grittyness of the image altogether.

 

What inspired you to do this? Did you have a bad headache one day?

Repulsive.
