Description
Hello everyone! As you know, usually, I make it a point to modify my photographs as little as possible. My typical edits include cropping, adjusting the Brightness/Contrast and sometimes fiddling with the Hue/Saturation levels. Oh, of course, I often add a border just for fun.
But this time, I added a picture to my picture. And a picture to the picture which is in my picture. And, actually, if you look really closely, there's a picture in the picture that's in the picture in my picture. How about that!
As for the rest, it's just -50 Saturation and a bit of fun fiddling with the "grain" filter.
The result is the emotive portrait that you see here. I actually really like how this turned out. It is sad, yet dimly colourful. The obvious point is to portray a negative, unpleasant emotion, and yet there is an undeniable radiance that, to me, conveys a sense of hope.
This image is very special to me. I look forward to reading your thoughts.

Very original & creative work here, Stefanie ! the different blue colors fit perfectly with the mood ! :~)
Excellent idea and composition'reminds me of the pink floyd album cover for Ummagumma... Bravo well done
Excellent concept, beautifully done Stefanie! I love the title, it's perfect for this work! Have a most excellent day my friend!
it's like poetry...
Great idea! Fantastic shot!!
Great effect and concept. I've seen similar things done before, but rarely this well. I'm glad you decided to modify this one a bit...it really adds to the drama of it. Yes, it could very well be an alternate Umaguma cover...though I like this better! =] F
