The little guys eyes light up! Picture is taken at f5.6 for 1 sec with Nikon D60, in a low lit room with flashlight shining on his hair. It is converted to black and white with green filter to make the hair show up even more using Nikon's NX2. I am just learning to use it (only had it about a week). I was trying to go for the bride of Frankenstein look.

Thanks

I don't mind sharing lol, just trying to remember what I did heh.
There was some warping done, to enlarge the eyes, and make my face longer etc.
Then used a new red layer, and masked so that only the eyes were affected. can't remember how I combined it though, I tend to cycle through the overlay options till it looks right lol.
then ran a quick cross process adjustment on the curves, then adjusted the hue to be a bit greener.
oh, and grew a bit of a beard.

I think the warty pumpkin and dark mood does fit the theme WD! One thing the be aware of are distractions in the background. That stick is a bit of a distraction...but the rocks that totally look like a body work for me.
