 Raw in dim, diffused daylight, open in CS3, use ACR to desat everything but the red, a touch of shadow/highlight to mute highlights, clone out some reflections on the habanero, resize, border, save for web.

Doomed, I know. Been a gray, gloomy week, nothing came to me. Found the habanero in the reefer. Title refers to an old, Medieval theme in art history. I don't expect anyone to get it.

I'm not keen on the border Bear but the DoF is beautiful and the selective desat is perfect for this. His legs do look a little uncomfortable but I've never tried to pose a woody so I've no idea how hard it is, the arms and head are lovely though.

I cant believe you didnt get a single comment! sorry bear. I gave this a 9 not just because woody was in it but because everything was perfect except the position of the legs. Looks incrediably uncomfortable even for woody. I also think I wouldve went for a red border instead of the brown. I love selective desats like this and as always you did a great job,people just didnt "get it"!
