Overall I'm pleased with how it turned out - I can't say the same for the beef stew I made today (it was okay, but a little bland) - though naturally there are aspects of it that I'm not happy with.
I used a variety of ditterent techniques to make this one, relying more on gradients and selective blurring rather than brushes and paths.
However, I still didn't achieve the exact look I was going for, so it's not a total success.
Apart from working on the picture, I didn't do much today besides the laundry and making beef stew (which was, as mentioned, a little bland; I suppose the same could be said for the picture).
Yesterday I arguably did even less, venturing out to the comic shop, where I picked up two more Drawer Boxes (and ordered two more besides), and then going grocery shopping.
I was too lazy to actually bother putting any comics in the boxes.
On Friday evening I headed down to Manassas to visit Scott and Stacy, who, after being cooped up in the house for days on end with sick kids, were desperate for some company.
I think I got selected for my lack of disease-spreading or disease-receiving offspring, and because my immune system, while not as bullet-proof as it once was, is still pretty robust.
While there we watched the Riff Trax of Dragon Wars: D-War, which was atrocious (the movie, not the Riff Trax aspect).
And that pretty much covers my all-too short weekend. I would have liked to have some more time in which to not do anything in particular, but That's not going to happen. Oh well.
You are, of course, your worse critic. I really don't see what's not to like in the Keira Knightly pic. You had a fantastic subject and a very appealing outcome. You captured her expression perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing actually wrong with it, it's just not quite the style I was shooting for.
ReplyDeleteYou were selected because we like you. Although that movie was so dumb. and cheesy.\
ReplyDeleteThis is Stacy btw not scott
