For the Achromatic August theme.
Thought I'd come out of the dark a bit... my favourite lens ever, but not great for SP's... I need a longer cable-release I think. Or something.
Processing: Oooh, lots! 3 b&w adjustments layers in PS. One for the curtains in the background, one for my eyes (with a clipped curves layer to up the contrast/detail), one for the rest of me. An overall curves adjustment layer to lighten everything, then a composite layer gaussian blurred quite a lot and overlaid in screen mode, opacity dropped to 50%. Then a levels adjust to take the blacks back towards black some more. Could do better methinks. Ho hum.
ps. Had a haircut too. lol
