étourdie by northy

étourdie

in some respects this is an utter and complete fail... but i am posting it because i thought it kinda worked for the weekly theme, plus i got to use it for toning practice for my push challenge set by @dtigani...

this was meant to be a bit more whimsical to go with the tune "tell me lies" as a metaphor for... well, if i have to explain it, that just goes to show the depths of my failure ;p

this has blue tones added to the highlights and purple tones added to the shadows.... i'd tag it for etsooi, but i did surprisingly little in post other than standard processing from raw, conversion to black and white in nik silver fx and then tones added in LR...

an abstract in my other album which thru flight of fancy has a metaphorical connection to this shot...

Dizzy, I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's you girl making it spin
You're making me dizzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy-v7np4iGM

I am great fan of slow shutter and movement so this I like a lot. The blue tones adds to the ghostliness of the scene.
