Gray scale

Recently I decided to dabble in gray scale pictures.. Mostly for the interesting bit of fun that it can be..

Here we have what looks to me like a window. It might in fact be a window but it also might not be but for this picture idea it in fact is a window.. It might not be one but the actions of the visuals suggest it is in fact a window, and by the actions I mean the light reflecting from the ceiling as well as on the floor.. so that to me says WINDOW... So what I did was take an idea from my mind and try to make it happen.. First here a picture of someone.. 

To scale rather than what it was which was bigger than the window as well as the original picture of the window by quite a bit.. So here is the starting point, I used PdN for the majority of this.. it might be easier to use other programs, but this was PdN for the next try.. 

What are you doing being upside down??  Took the original picture, reversed it and then set it to 90 degrees and then moved it to a position I thought might work.. It won't do the angles on the main picture itself so I had to guess.. This was the starting point. 

After finagling it about and getting rid of the finer bits of what was there.. 

We get this.. Now for the shadow proper here I used the Artweaver program, using sponges of various types to get this to be more softer.. 

And this was just trying to used the different sponges without the inverted picture.. This was the first try to get this picture this way.. Might try again later after I try the Artweaver program again.. This was my first try to use this program in about eight years..
