[link] That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Although there are differences, it still strikes me.
I think with a little different framing(move the frame up, so the sheet around your waist is at the bottom of the frame, and move you just a teeeeeensy bit farther right in the frame), it'd be a bit stronger, and you may like it better showing your whole back and head, instead of cropped off like that.
Seems a little blue too. If you're using Photoshop Ctrl(or the Apple key on a Mac)+Shift+U is the Desaturate command. It'll remove all color. But if you are *wanting* it to look blue and white, like a faux-cyanotype, then you might want to take it even more blue so there's some good contrast, and use some grunge brushes in the same color range to add some textures to make it look like handmade papers..... All kinds of stuff you could do. This image has the potential to be super-strong.
Good job.

i wanted my head and stuff in it, but i was getting so frustrated because i had it on a tripod and timer and i just wasn't getting it the way i wanted. the reason i desaturated and toned it is because the photo was originally super dark, and i had to lighten it and in the process it got really grainy... i couldn't see doing much more with it besides what i did. i'll try again and see what i can do with it later. thanks <3

I actually like the grain. I thought it was intended. I don't want you to feel like it's a bad piece. I know I said a lot of things could be better, but it's a really nice piece already.
If you're concerned about light, see if you can retake it during the day, close to a window. I like it on the bed though. Lets everything be simple so we can concentrate on you in the piece.
If that light's too harsh, put a white sheet over the window to scrim the light. It'll diffuse it and make it a lot softer, but you should be able to get an exposure off it just fine.

The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
