ok this photo may seem like it should go into the photo manipulation section but is not a manipulated photo. I dont have those kind of skills yet....well im at best an amateur photo manipulator. But what I did was all with camera....and im even able to duplicate it. Its not an in camera feature nor is it designed to be. I did it cause i wanted to and this is where my inspiration takes me when i have unlimited potential.....well at least how much potential i can get from a $130 camera can get. The reason i put all the disclaimer stuff is cause i know it looks like a photo manip.....and im capable of doing them. But this one i didnt manipulate anything other than the lighting in the room and how the digital camera registers the white balance....thats it.

I got about the coloring i wanted.....but unfourtunately its a bit grainier than i wanted and shows off a bit more noise than i wanted. But its not for some gigantic ad campaign so im happy.

I actually suprised myself with this one.....and as far as manipulations...u must ask before u want to use it in a photo manip. And tell me what ur concept is. Otherwise the answer is no. Im sorry but this is the best work ive done to date regardless of how bad some of it is but i want to protect it
