pug of war
// 2009.01.06One of the downsides to taking as many photos as I do (I average between 8 GB and 16 GB of RAW files per month) is that you never seem to have enough time to process everything you'd like to. It makes you a better editor of your work, I think, but it also can leave real gems untouched for months.
Case in point: the pug of war. I wanted to get Merry in her armor in front of a good stone wall - something that would look suitably medieval. I found it, and shot this in the fall, but never got around to processing it till now because I knew I wanted a different "post process" look than my usual fare. Took me a while to get close to what I wanted, but here's the result.
And yes, I snickered often while processing this. Doesn't she look hysterical? :)
yes, hysterical...and ready to rumble. :)

This picture KILLS me - especially her facial expression, it's very: don't touch my armor or I will lick you to death with my killer tongue! ;)
