Repose

I had some fun playing in my photo/paint program today.
First I turned it into gray scale. Fiddled with the contrast.
Colorized it. Added a hot wax coating.

I like the way the veins stick out ...
the toes look gnarly ...
the blemishes are pronounced ...
and the strips of light play across the leg.

[ click for the high res image ... it's worth it ]
Quite the artsy effect!

Ha! It's fun to play with certain photos, isn't it?

ooh! Awesome. I would love to own tights this color. I am known for wearing "wild tights" on my legs. Magenta and fuchsia are among my favorite colors. It's fun to play with photo manipulation, isn't it? (Plus you didn't need to use your legs to "run" anywhere for supplies; before I "put my foot in my mouth" I'd better stop "tip toeing" around and simply say how much this artist enjoyed your photo fun!
