How about one more from this afternoon? Civil war soldier re-enactor.

This is reduced by 25% for size.

The funny thing about reenactments is that there isn't any real lead flying around, you think these guy's would be standing here like this if there was?

Shot without a flash to keep the glare down...
I spent easily another 4 hours cleaning up the pixel funk, then as Rey suggested, I added color layers for sky, land & sea, that removed a lot of the dirt color that was all over it, this was a test print, and to tell you the truth, it is nicer than what I was expecting, its very rich, I'll post another picture after its stretched and sealed.

I love this technique, this is the first one i ever did with it when I saw Delia's tut last year, it's my firstborn daughter when she was a little cutie-pie:

I left the white pillow outline around her for a Halo effect, If I redid it I'd leave it but make it a lot lighter. I have a high quality Xerox printer at home. I printed this out nice & big for myself & family, it looks fantastic hanging in a frame.

Now she's a big monster.


Here's my nephew on his Christening:

And I think my favourites so far are Patre's Louis Armstrong & Delia's Obama, you guys (& lady) rock!

Dechene, seeing your image of the sweet baby next to your avatar of a cartoon lap dance is a bit disturbing.
