When I was growing up this was my childhood hero. We didn't have all the "pretty" Disney stuff. Maybe that's why when I look at your pictures it just feels right. I'm happy. Homeostasis :) And this one never fails to cheer me up :)

That's so amazing! Congratulations Sempermarine! He described it pretty well. I can't stop looking at your work too, but I don't feel creepy. Maybe something is wrong with me. Chernobyl disaster happened when I was little after all.

Here is my submission...

Original:



1. My typical style shot.



2. My split personality.



3. A flashback to my active duty days.



4. My attempt at a "Science Fiction" movie star. "Semper Wars"



5. I felt a bit upside down. BTW, this was the most difficult of the 6 to process. It made me dizzy.



6. My high key submission. (My favorite!)



This was a blast. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did and learned something new. Over the course of the next week or so I will comment on your shots and continue to share ideas. Much appreciation to all who participated. A couple of members have reached out to me and will be posting a bit late. So I will post your awards in the am. Thanks again!

I will be posting my shots very shortly. Due to Semperlight savings you still have time to meet the deadline. :)

Well I had an SP I was gonna use, but the wife decided to let me shoot her, so I had to start over late in the game here. Better her than me for your sakes. :)

Original:


Some filters and edits applied
using OnOne's PhotoTools and
a little bit of cloning and
who knows what else...



Some more selective blur added
and some detail enhancement
using fractalius...



This one went a little haywire.
I was trying for a comic book look,
but gave up on it...



(forgot this one) "Steampunk"
filter from OnOne PhotoTools...



A BW version of the first edit...



And finally, the one she will
KILL me for if she sees it -
an Age Progression edit because
I just got bored and went to town ;-)



*eta: I missed one, so I did get six edits. ...but missed the deadline. :(
