Utterly mersmerising in light and shade. I thought at first that the eyes were just too bright, but in the end it all fits in with the feel of the image. I really love the comfy chair too - where can I get one ?

Very well done Bill...
I mentally went through all stages if I was taking this shot, and the work load must have been immense, especially post processing to manipulate the shades and light areas..

Great choice...

Thanks everyone.

Waleed: This shot was done with window light only. The only real processing was done on the chair and backwall (like you said, for shadows and light). Did some painting with light to get the chair to where I wanted it and toned down a tree in the corner.

Thanks again everyone.

Bill

That info has just moved it from awesome to super-awesome! It's probably my favourite POTW since we started this thing.

I hope you're making money on these .

Thanks Paul, this was a setup I did for a workshop I was instructing at. Passing info is what the forums are all about *

There ain't no secrets in photography any more or should that be "There should not be any secrets"* * :

That kind of predictability we should all hope for -- it's called an identifiable look or style.
