3rd:contemplating the feelings *by Abstract

Color-hue adjustment is the only PS treatment done on the photograph.
contemplating, hence the inclined face.
i think, purple hue is soothing and portrays feeling better than bluish/sepia tone.

Canon PowerShot S1 IS
1/2s f/5.6 at 5.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thank you for the detailed critique Iso. sparkle in the eye is my favourite part too.
as far as font is concerned, i wanted something very very simple, with smooth-round curves...so finally settled down on this simple ones (almost "arial", with a bit more curves ). infact to decrease the emphasis on words, i didnt even capitalize c...t...f.

A great image indeed, positioned perfectly. The catchlight sparkle is a neat little touch on this - a real feature even though it so small. The type is in the right place but I don't care for the font. Though we are here to discuss photography and not typography I realise. Nice one Abs.

Abs-I forgot to compliment you on the color! Changing it to purple turned the corner on this one!! Shu

Well done Abs this looks excellent mate.

Superb Abs. This is an iconic image for record covers and has been done to varying degrees of success for years and yours is first class. If it had a Blue Note Records stamp somewhere i would never pick that this was entered in a light hearted challenge on in internet forum. Excellent.

I like this Abs. Did you use a gel or did you get the purple glow in PS? Dorys
