Description Have you ever felt the want to blame yourself? I know I have....

Make sure to full view this image please as there are details not so visible in the smaller view

Model:

Notes:
This is a single frame timed exposure using experimental lighting and seeing how far one could push the boundary by adding a live model standing in opposing positions during the shot.
No real photo-shopping was done (this is not a composite!) digital darkroom techniques used were thus:
Unsharp Mask
Masking out unwanted flare on the right hand side of the frame.
Mild colour adjustment

Many Thanks to ~EmoXide for having the patience to wait in the dark (literally) whilst I went nuts trying to figure this shot out hehe

I like it! Though I'm not so sure about the fluffy tablecloth..... Isn't "J'Accuse" a letter from a famous writer? And he got thrown in jail for it...?

J'Accuse is just that but translated from French (loosely of course, as I dont speak fluently in much besides English) it means "I Accuse" and thus the image is meant to portray self blame and ridicule. Thanks glad you liked it.

Oh yeah, I can actually see that (surprisingly).
I find it interesting that there's an ashtray in the middle of the table.

Cool effect!
Did you have to try this many times to get it to work??

Twice actually.... but it wasn't easy... The first attempt was actually the better of the two except there was unexplainable "elements" inside the picture that were near impossible to remove would love to have more of a play with this technique though models are a rare commodity to come by for me....
