 Funny story.

I dyed my hair today (blue black) and while the dye was setting, my head started to itch. Well, the only thing I could find close enough, was a clear plastic fork. When I saw the dye on the fork, I really liked how it looked. So, I pressed the fork against my head and made a pattern on the fork.

Then, I opened PS and made an 8x10 print of a brighter blue. I grabbed my Trusty old Sony, since it has macro and put them both in front of my deck door. I held the fork different angles, getting a bunch of cool shots. I like this one best.

In PS, I played with the levels, added an \"brightening\" filter, USM, NI, cropped and used the healing brush to remove a small piece of hair and some \"globs\" from the fork.

And that\'s it!

The cropping seems to be a little too tight.
The colors are and they contrast beautifully with the border.

cool idea. I wish the fork was sharper, maybe its intentional.

Hard to believe a plastic fork could be so artful. I like the graphic sense of it. Nicely composed and quite contemporary. 7
