hands

This is rather good, isnt it? Yes it is.

rather Alien...

It is good, the more I look at it the more I like it. It was a bit of a shock this morning but I'm over it now. Did you look at it in b/w? I'm not saying you should, just curiosity really. Over and out.

I did play with this a bit. The reason I liked the color better, was the pink/blood showing in the hands, giving this alien looking form a very soft, human feel. The only manipulation given to this image, was bumping up the blue in the midtones.

I am also trying to get out of my sometimes narrow, black and white film view of things.

Well its a great first step, so different from your other stuff, I really like it the way it is. I bet it would look great really big. Its a bloody good picture be happy. (Happy, I remember that).

You seem to be in brood mode. Congratulations....I'm sure you will create some exquisite art.

my timid journey through digital color...

Simply, a great shot!
