Prelude to War by mej2011

Prelude to War

@mikegifford
challenged me for my "Get Pushed" challenge to work within the 5+2 theme of primal. Some sort of shot with my bow and and arrow immediately came into mind. However, no matter what I did I was left with some sort of undesirable background, so this will have to do.

Working with my own September challenge of photos relating to music the title is Prelude to War from the Battlestar Gallatica soundtrack composed by Bear McCreary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEhlAA85_tY
In this case, the "Get Pushed" challenge came first, then my photo concept, then the song which I just discovered last night.

As far as editing, I was keeping within Paula's challenge of 5 days worth of black and white photos, so I converted to black and white in Photoshop Elements 12 and then I added the Fiji effect in Ribbet.

If anyone has any experience doing somewhat self portraits with bow and arrows, please give me some pointers (ha ha ha).

Thanks for the challenge!

Great photo ! Really conveys the theme and intent. B&W makes it nice and edgy too.

Very primal - back to early basics! I like the editing!
