    Eerie!!!!

    Hi all, this was wierd, Kim took the attached picture the other day and I was messing with it in Photoshop. I was trying to blur out the background but the blur tool wasn't doing what I wanted, so I switched to the smudge tool. I was using some random circular sweeps to obscure b/g but didn't like what was happening. So I stopped and was about to "Step Backward" when I spotted what I had done!!! Now mind you, I can't draw good stick figures, much less something like this....
    Thought I'd share here since it's far from being ready for the critique section.
    What do you think of my accident??? A larger shot can be seen in my gallery.

    That's amazing ken. I hope you were working on the large picture and not a sized down one becuase it will be impossible to duplicate. The kid's pose, fingers & reflection also makes this even more wonderful.

    I think a large B&W print might scare the neighbours but it will still be a great photo & accident!

    My first thought was "that's hilarious"!

    And maybe a little spooky.

    I'm like you - I can't draw decent stick figures.

    Which is why I take photographs!
