His Masters Voice!

Uploaded: May 03, 2008

Description


Digital Darkroom entry, re-entered into Animals as a I am busy at present and now realise I entered it twice in the one month.
I used a remote shutter release and Teena looked away lol almost deliberately saying "I'm not looking at you".
I am very pleased with this one, looks like a ye old picture card. I worked on it with filters, (Dreamsuite Mystical)using a layer mask at first to take the main character out of the background, fiddled with this until I was happy then layered Teena back in again.
