Just finished this image. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I believe that this image really captures the essence of the religious glow and the halo works quite nicely with it. I've been reading a lot about the halo as a icon on wikipedia, and think I will end up doing a few picture similar in this nature.
I believe the lighting is the strongest part of this photo and I'm glad that I did light test before the shoot because it made things so much easier. The cloth that is draped around the figure also turned out well as a result of this and makes the figure more three dimensional and real. The colors are also very strong and helps to separate the image from the background. The background color also brings to mind fire, as if the figure is surrounded or baptized by a holy flame.

i like this pic rob. have you tried canaan with black and white like you did yourself?
aj.
Actually this picture started off as black and white. I do a process where I convert the digital color image into a black and white image and then layer the colors over it. I found this gives me really good contrast in the image and complete control over the color.
Ok don't know why my comment didn't post from last time.
I think I said something funny about Canaan Oh yeah St. Canaan patron saint of the High School Stalkers! :)
Cool photo I like the blues and the halo effect.
