Project for 2012 - a '52 - Week 2 - Fear

I went for the source of (I guess) the most common phobia.

I used the 580EXII off-camera and due to space requirements had to hand-hold the camera - this made getting the focus bang-on the eyes a challenge.

I did a manual conversion to B&W in Lightroom adjusting contrast, clarity, blacks, cropping and adding a vignette. The original shot is below as a reference.

Canon EOS-1D Mark III, f/9 @ 100 mm, 1/300, ISO 100, Flash.
