 Yah yah yah, I know I just got a high finish with this same skiff in "My Corner of the World", but it's perfect for Halloween, it's a special (and unanticipated) challenge, so what the heck...

....

Processing is pretty straightforward: the crop is just top and bottom to square it up as planned in shooting, there's a touch of smoothing in topaz, and I pulled some blue out in hue/sat... Resize, adamus sharpening, etc etc.

Would love to see this in black and white. I like the image, just seems to cheery, with the bright red paint.

Very cute, gives a child's imagination feel to it. The colors and exposure give it more of a friendlier side to Halloween. Refreshing! 8

Fun idea, although it's a little hard to recognize that he's missing his head...
