Brilliance is a property of stars, not people
It's a silhouette of a person...not a peninsula or anything
.
Tutorials and Resources
- Forced perspective with bokeh: [link]
Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 50mm F1.8 + IR remote + manual focus. Custom bokeh technique described here: [link] . Christmas lights in the background + more back lighting. GIMP for post editing. Curves to darken the silhouette. Color balancing and more curves for color; originally the background was more yellow and the silhouette more brown/red.
Additional Comments
Another quote concept I've been meaning to do for the longest time. When I was younger I wanted to be brilliant, but then I realized brilliance is probably best left as a property of the stars in the sky and not the people on the ground. Not sure if I like the colors but I wanted something blue-ish
Not the original composition I was going for either...but my head's too big and funny shaped for the original composition I wanted 
More fun with bokeh:
