Well, I've tried to go traditional on this one, and my props were not many, but I thought about giving it a different twist. Hence Woody :)
Thanks to Insomniac for the title choice, I was hanging between this and "Be still, you fruits!!", but I think we chose right.
The photo is done from 3 exposures, merged in PS CS4 (Photomerge to HDR), and then used the soft portrait preset of Topaz adjust, to give it a soft feeling.
The original exposures were light painted, as I had a lot of trouble trying to get the flash lighting right. It was fun anyway.
Then I just burned and dodged a bit, and presto!
Hope you like it!
