Juliet?

Oooh, one of my first (successful) stabs at a photo-manip! ...Would this still be considered a manipulation if most of the work I did was towards changing little details (ie, mostly colour work)? I'm not so familiar with the manip category...

Original photo can be seen here.

I was inspired to do a Romeo & Juliet themed piece, where I would use a female model and edit the photo to make her appear dead (when Juliet fakes her death and Romeo believes her to be actually dead and chugs some poison)... But then I realized I don't have any female friends to model for me. Sooo... lets all pretend Juliet was a redhead, okay?

I think I'll redo this piece at some point in the future; I'll go into greater detail (makeup, costumes, backgrounds, the works) - and I'll use a model that isn't, y'know, me. I'm really getting tired of using myself... It's not easy being the model and the photographer at the same time, y'know.

Ah well... Until then, enjoy.
