This is my favourite shot of the shoot - and it was successfully used in an advertising campaign.

Don't think this one has been "liquified", but if it has its been done really well, although not sure if there tear has been added manually - still a great image though, some great imagination with props and insight gone into this one.

Thanks Guys for your feedback, to be honest, I never really noticed the shoulder before and have since liquified it down and it does look much better - so thanks to Jam for that. The teardrop was applied to the model using a cotton bud and several takes, and it all had to be done with minimum movement so that all peices of jewellery were visible. I also had to dull down the earing on her left as it drew the eyes away from the central area. All in all quite a challenging image but the clients were pleased and I got paid so everyone was happy.

. i would also use the burn tool to darken the eye lashes and bring out the eyes more but a beautiful shot congrates on the ad camp
