Re: Don McCullin - Shell Shocked Soldier

I remember seeing the contact sheet for this particular shot and the amount of dodging and burning involved was quite extensive.

Re: Halloween part 2

Thanks Chris and welcome to the forum!! I had completely forgotten about this image but may submit this into a future competition, if only to scare the judge :D This is so good. Really intense; that smile is eerie. I don't want to see the eyes. The creases on his face leading into the sockets makes ...
