Challenge by brigette

Challenge

This week's Get pushed was a selfie. Quite possibly my least favourites of things to do - such great effort for such little reward or results.. but sigh at least i completed the task.
My conceptual idea for this was too hard to execute.. so this will quite have to do.
@kph129 sigh.. I had an idea of what i wanted to do for this challenge.. but I couldn't quite pull it off! I very nearly did not do the challenge!

Well done Bridgett! I share your reluctance to do selfies, and think you've executed this well!

Hi Brigette... first off, thank you for the challenge - i will see what i can come up with :) for you, well, i have several ideas... you have some lovely images - in particular, i really like the work you've done with hands... which made me think of a challenge i once had... to take a black and white portrait in the style of Yousuf Karsh... Karsh had a way with lights, and tended to take particular care with the lighting of his subject's hands....

that said, I'm not sure from your project that you will necessarily have easy access to a willing model... so... as an alternative, perhaps a still-life in the style of Francisco Goya...

if neither of those work for you, let me know and i will see what else i can come up with!
