Continuing with the experiment of combining flash with long exposure (again, 4 seconds). This time I added a front wash using a blank screen on my laptop as my light source. :) Then I converted the image to black & white in photoshop, tweaking the levels a bit in my eyes to make them a focal point. On a side note, I quite like my wacky hair!
I welcome your feedback about the shot and suggestions for things to try next time!
