Take care, stay creative and once more: thanks a million times for participating in this project!

looks great indeed. Sad that it had to be digitally altered to look the way it does now :-)

Nice job . I keep thinking there are six fingers on each hand but that's likely just the residual astigmatism left by the laser surgery - not your fault.

Fuji FP100B instant film was used. There's a black back layer on the 'negative' side of the film (similar to pola 665, but it is not soluble in plain water) and you can etch it off with hipochlorite solution (domestos, clorox, etc.). After washing and drying there is a weak yellowish image on the negative and you can bring it back to life with scanning and some post-processing in PS (curves and colorize). I have not seen this technique before, maybe I am the inventor :-). Let this 'etching process' spread throughout the world :-) Polaroid discontinuing 665/85 films, I will use FP100B + this technique as an alternative for simulating Sabattier effect that I like very much.
