My friend Marcia who hosts the Thanksgiving in the Desert every year - for the last 25, I believe. I've been going for 16.
Lucis Wyeth, Perfectum on the original. Heightened the saturation by quite a bit. Overlayed with Vintage Background and the film strip. Did some erasing - pretty sloppy, too - on the face and the bug.
I've only ever heard of pigs in a pit, but a turkey sounds like a better choice! As usual, I love the emotion you can provoke with your candids. Very cool.
The visual complexity from the overlays turns this image into something that makes you stop and think about all the stories that might have led up to this particular time.
Oh that is great. It tells a story. I'm a huge fan of it. Would make a terrific book cover. I'm not reading your comments, so I'll check it out but I like to give my gut "first impression" before reading the intent of the photographer. Nice stuff.
Although the editing is "pretty sloppy" : ) I reckon it it adds to the composition! A bit like when a painter is sloppy with the paintbrush and there's paint dripping and running down the canvas, it all adds to the viewers experience! Kinda gives you a hint that the artist painted in a flurry and some of what he/she was feeling at the time! Same here! Does this even make sense?? hehe I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say! see, this is why I take pictures and why I'm not a writer! : )
is that apple juice or plonk!!?? ... i feel like she's looking at your 'alien landscape' with a mixture of dread, wonder, anticipation, confusion and possibly girding her loins sort'v feeling .. love the little beetle in the background .. maybe the getaway car ??!!!!!! :)
Cool shot! Lucis on the original image (ooops - see you stated that!)? You might have gone a little overboard "around" the VW (erasing/showing too much around the car), but otherwise very enjoyable shot.
