I want some more practice making faux CDV/tintype/cabinet card photos, so I got Emma to pose for me at the tea. I think it turned out pretty good for a quickie with bad lighting and background. Here is the original for comparison.

I think the contrast is fine the way it is, but I went back and lightened the eyes (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jen_thompson/3541765106/sizes/l/), and I do think that adds a nice touch. Thanks for the feedback.

I tried on a previous attempt to mimic the effect of a blue filter through photoshop, but I didn't have much luck. I know it can be done - it's just a little over my head. I need to do a bit more research on that one...
