Values and Color Adjustment, Levels, White Fade

Ellie - 2005

I like this image, and the others of the series. This was another series where I was selectively altering the color and focus of the image after the fact to draw the eye to certain features.

Here the eyes are crisp and clear, as is the nose which draws the focus up to Ellie's eyeline where I feel I can see her intellect staring into my own with a piercing gaze.
