Bibliophobia by mej2011

Bibliophobia

Bibliophobia is a the fear of books.

Editing for this shot was a multiple step process. First I added a bloom effect in Photoscape to bring some brightness to the face. Next, I did some minor cropping.Then, I went into picnik and added the focal zoom effect. Back at Photoscape I added the Cross Process high and Cinema high effects.

So what do you all think of this processing, too much? Not enough? Just right?
i love the processing on this, great capture! :-]!!

I like it, the editing and photo is fine. I feel like I actually do have Bibliophobia by looking at this, or viewing through a bibliphobics eyes. The Vertigo and full frame of books. Great ++++

Dude. DUDE. I think fear is your calling. This series has rocked. :) And I think the processing is absolutely ace on this - I wouldn't change a thing.

Melissa! Seriously! Did I mention that I love this series! It's brought out the creativity in you like nothing else has, even Hambones and Not-Hawks!

NOTHING will beat hambones, we all know this. lol. I'm glad you like this series. I really am enjoying it, although this shot is my least favorite so far.

Really cool effect! Feels 3d-ish like the books are shooting out at the viewer! Matches the title perfectly!!

Funny story, I just came back to this shot to reply to your comment and it took me a minute to find the eye as well. Oh well.
