Wanda08_21_04.jpg

OK, so today I used photoshop for evil purposes. I couldn't help myself. Every so often I have to break out of the "Pretty" mode of doing things. Today was one of those days.

I remember this image! I was in an ugly mood, so it's only fitting that we did an ugly picture! (laughing)It's amazing how scary I can look!

Okay, Bill ... I know this look. It's the same look I got form my wife when I told her I might want to drop 2k on the new 20D! LOL! Good luck, brother! ;-)

Nah, don't like this Bill. It's a bit disturbing! Back to pretty Wanda ASAP, please and keep the trip's down the dark side few and far between.

I'm getting worried now - I'm developing a morbid fascination and have to keep going back to look again!
Wanda 23-Aug-2004 05:34

Wow, this is strikingly scary yet somehow u can still see her beauty.
Stuart Peterson22-Aug-2004 04:17
Jim is right! I just adjusted the size of the browser window to achieve the "crop". Letting my eyes relax blurs out the whole image, and a skin-covered skull appears. I'm sure you were trying for a weird look, but you've got one creepy image. Far more than I'd bet you were shooting for. The red eyes make be the key, along with the ultra-high contrast b&w. Applause!

Woah! Spooky! I love it, for sure "different"!
Bill if you crop away the area above the highest tip of Wanda's finger and crop away the area below her lowest finger (remove forehead and chin/neck) and then look at the image for a bit you will start to see this image of a skull come forward. Works easy if you let your eyes relax (like you are trying to focus on one of those 3D posters) and focus/stare at the bridge of Wanda's nose. This will allow the fingers to go out of focus, the "Skull" image really comes forward. I got scared and had to look away.

Love the high contrast with the makeup. Give her some fangs next time and get a snarl out of her.
