I bet it was fun to process 

Can you not get rid of the two reflections/flares around the left eye, it looks like it has a displaced monocle 

[Phoenix]

always hard when there is lots of reflection, did you use a polariser? 

[FUJI]

Thank you both.......no, no polariser used, I like all the reflections, good and bad, the shop has a great selection of mannequins and they make good subjects. This one was between changes of hats and was in front of the upright of the very bright shop window hence the reflections that attracted my creative eye.

I have a potential customer for these mono creations......a Poetry Magazine, which has featured my work on its covers, a version of this will be offered to them in due course.

scary! but unusual. I wuld have cropped some of the shoulders off, I find they distract from the face.

Thanks, Chrissy,

I am thinking of cropping it in many different ways ....perhaps to use just half or even a quarter of it in a creative way....

we'll see.

Yes very creative......turn it into a negative (can't remember the right term) and have halfy half

Thank you all.....

Earlier on, I had a go at creating something completely different from this version,  I deleted the left hand side as you look at it, then cut and pasted the right side mirrored to get identical but mirrored features, after a bit more twiddling I produced a light, then a darker more sinister version. I have sent both to the Poetry and Prose magazine, publishers on spec that they might use one or both on a cover in due course....Finger's crossed.
