Description

- Framed Art Prints


People seemed to like the Mel photo. So I went to Michelles house again to do something with crazy make-up. I'm not sure really what I'm doing. And we just kinda winged it on what we wanted to accomplish. Needless to say, everything you plan out when you have no plan, kinda of just goes completely opposite of where you expected it to go. So I had no idea that when I got home, I would be making a picture that to me looks like an elf hiding in the forest. But that is the way things worked out, and so that is what I rolled with.

That being said, I spent more time editing this photo then any I have ever done. Mostly because I couldn't find which color scheme I enjoyed looking at. I have so many good ones that it is hard to choose, and I'm uploading early mostly to get it out of my hair and be done with it haha!

Anyways hope you enjoy it. It is wicked scary and cool.

Title comes from an "As I Lay Dying" album.

Lol I have been thinking about showing my editing process for some photos. I know you would love to see how much they change.

I can imagine.. For example, (I don't mean to be a wise ass but..) colorization towards the top part of the tree looks a bit awkward, pixelated or whatever. I wonder what the original setting was like, it might have been smoother.
Or may be its just my laptop screen.
Plus, the make up would stand out if it were the original photo. When it's too obviously digitally edited, one could think that the leaves were post production like the other details okkay that's it for now

I like it. but I dont know how to say it in a very non little kid kinda way. arg


i like her tattoo-things on her body. they look very real and yet at the same time they look as tho they are just shadows of something like maybe a garden fixture type thing. its lovely. reminds me of holly ((the plant not any person >.< hehe))
