Solarized Egyptian, Apology to Man Ray

An 10th Dynasty Egyptian figure subjected to the "Antique Solarization" custom style in Nik Silver Efex Pro.  The effect is very much like a print from solarized film, a technique used by Man Ray.
Technical: Nikon D700, AF-S Nikkor 50mm f1.4G, ISO 800, f/2.0 @ 1/50s, handheld.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2.5, then edited in Nik Silver Efex Pro to apply the custom style, blue filter and coffee stain effects.

Egyptian Bust #1

Study of an Egyptian bust dating from about 1300 BC.  I've almost have enough of these to mount an exhibit.
Technical: Nikon D700, Nikkor 50mm f1.8G, ISO 800, f/2.8 @ 1/45s, handheld.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2.5 to crop and apply a develop preset I've created to give stone a uniform tone and emphasize texture.
