 Due to lack of time and models I took a self portrait again.

The whole week I had no clue what to do for this challenge. But when I saw those large seeds lying under some oaks I came upon this. I like the result.

Did a bit levels, contrast, color adjustments and just a little dodge & burn. Then converted to b&w, added sepia, neat image, crop and sharpen.

One of the interesting things about this is the hands look older than the eyes. Hopefully no lenses were injured in the making of this photograph.

I think you'd better get some lessons in catapult making. But then again, the kids of today probably only know how to play video games and have none of the skills needed to make such things. ;-)
