redux ~

[lookingland]

this is still a work in progress (and may be for a while), but after tinkering with it tonight, i'm finding that it's being a good photo and lending itself to lots of possibilities.

ideally i would want to squeeze one or two other people into this picture (might try, but that could be pushing it ~ even for photoshop).

i think morse (standing in the back) came out okay ~ it's hard to create a photo-replica of someone who's simply not in the picture ~ hahahaha ~ but with the basic eyes and nose and mouth and a body to work with, you can make a whole lot of something out of nothing. i'm not sure he's as well blended into the picture as he could be, but for a quickie first-run, it's better than i thought i would do.

i might play with their faces a little more. i took the pipes off, but may replace them with cigars. if i get much more radical with the image, it will start to deteriorate fast, so i'm trying to just make small changes that will trick the eye a little.

Wow, I took a look at the original, and then the one you played with, and that is awesome how you slipped in Morse and slid out the pipes! ^__^ You're good!

it's not bad for a non-commital job ~ ! i'm almost afraid to mess with it much more ~

~ hahaha ~

i really need to work with a scan at a much higher resolution ~ so much of the detail gets washed out and there are some really nice little touches in this image.

examining the picture more closely, i realized they're not playing cards at all ~ they are playing dominoes!
