A Very Confused Character by alophoto

A Very Confused Character

I've had this idea for awhile, a shot of Red and the wolf combined. It's like a combination of arch enemies, a bringing nemesis' together. Being that I have to give the hood back again, I figured the time for this weird shot was now.

And it just so happens that this week is the paradox theme for 5+2. I would call this character a paradox.

What's the story here? I can't quite figure it out. Is it that Red is so obsessed with the wolf that she dresses up like it to understand it better. Or did the wolf gobble Red in the forest and is preparing to go trick Grandma? Or...so many crazy possibilities. I'd love to hear your ideas, your story lines.

Check out the rrh tag for my whole Red series. Start at the shot on the right and work your way back.

Clearly I am need of a weekend. Yeah. Hope that yours are great!
A super capture. Fav

@leananiemand Thanks so much, lady!!

@darylo thanks, Daryl!!:)

@jaynspain @soboy5 @wearing0 @carolmw @kerristephens

@pittcj17 Thank you all so much for enjoying my nutso. Weird, weird idea, i know:).

@cocobella Thanks, lady. It is awful...and I am determined to get my monies worth out of it. I think it was $10 and I've used it in 5 shots now, I think. Worth it...oh yeah!

@friend2303 Awesome. cool to hear that. I guess I do have a style...and that style is nuts. If it's anything wolf or red related it's probably me, eh? Thanks, man!

@vega Thank you so much, lady!!:)
April 4th, 2014  
Obviously the B.B. Wolf gobbled up Miss Red R.H., who was such a tasty dish that B.B. Wolf is now hoping to meet the rest of the family. Bon appetit!
April 4th, 2014  
Awesome shot, by the way...
April 4th, 2014  
@featherstone LOVE it, Sue. Thank you:)!!!
April 4th, 2014  
Neat
April 4th, 2014  
wonderful work Amanda, what a big lollling toungue you have!
April 4th, 2014  
@kali66 Perhaps he is looking at Red? thanks, Kali. It was a quicky, but it had to be done.:)

@fullcircle thanks, Cindy!
April 4th, 2014  
Grandma has obviously killed the wolf, and dressed up with its head hoping to get more people to eat at her barbecue! Nice grandma!
April 4th, 2014  
Fav. That's some mask! it is a mask right?
April 4th, 2014  
@adamj Nope, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today;-). Yes, I used it 5 times to make sure the $10 spent on it was worth it. Not too shabby for a prop. thank you, my friend. Boy did you miss a selfie in your absence. You ever see what Mad Hatters are up to? @madhatters Honored by your fav for my silly shot.

@maggiemae Oooh, nice one Maggiemae!! I like it!
April 4th, 2014  
Amazingly creative! You always delight and surprise!
April 4th, 2014  
That is one helluva scary mask...well I hope it's a mask anyway! I can imagine what your wardrobe (closet) looks like ;o) xx

Super shot...very creative....love the red cape with the mean wolf....fav
April 4th, 2014  
Oh no, red ridding hood is a Werewolf
April 4th, 2014  
Fantastically well done. Love it
April 4th, 2014  
A great story pic
April 4th, 2014  
Super composition Amanda!
April 4th, 2014  
i want that cape. can you please ask your friend where i might get one? is the colour here close to the original? i like this photo except for the wolf.
April 4th, 2014  
@summerfield The color is pretty true. It's a darker red. I think that I saw various color capes at the party store (Party City). I want to say that they were $15 each. Do you have Party stores that sell costumes?
April 4th, 2014  
@amandal - yes, we do! i'm going to go there tomorrow as they close at 6. i should like to get one. you want one?
April 4th, 2014  
@summerfield Nah, I'm good. I can borrow this one whenever I want. thanks. Let me know if you find one.
April 5th, 2014  
Whoa! Creative, creepy and cool!
April 5th, 2014  
very creepy. will there be a sacrifice ritual later?
April 5th, 2014  
You did it. You rendered me speechless. Only a werewolf has that capability.
April 5th, 2014  
Sorry I'm so late. It's been a very long day but I love this!!! Fav!!!
April 5th, 2014  
Awesome image love it
April 5th, 2014

Wow !! So very creative. Thanks for your recent comment on my project.
April 6th, 2014  
Creativity is the spice of life.

@sailingmusic @tonydebont @blueberry1222 @paulaw

Thanks so much, guys. I had fun with this mixed up role:).

@bobfoto Cool, give me a link. Going red is fun...clearly I can't stop. I was just mentioning you yesterday. We need a big hairy guy for a Mad Hatters shot this week and I thought you would fit the role well. Hope you are well. Oh and I don't like clowns...
April 6th, 2014  
Love this! Paradox indeed... Did you ever see the "once upon a time" series? Turns out Red was a werewolf ;)
April 6th, 2014  
have to keep red alive! like a colourful grim reaper with classic fairy story snowy woods background - super
April 6th, 2014  
@northy @gozoinklings Thanks so much, ladies. Gotta mix it up and yes, any change to go red, I do:). Never saw that series, Northy. Sounds great, though.
April 6th, 2014  
You are so fantastically creative....please send some my way, I must learn to do selfies!!
April 6th, 2014  
@pixiemac Aw, thanks kindly. Just think crazy thoughts. And just do a selfie and do another...the more you do, the more you love them:).
April 6th, 2014  
Another creative work of genius! Fav! As far as ideas, my mind draws a blank! That is, nothing beyond the ideas you've suggested!
April 6th, 2014

Fantastic storytelling image Amanda, you do these shots SOOOO well. I think the wolf is pretty chuffed that not only did he get a tasty girl for dinner but he got a stylish new coat for his wardrobe! Lucky wolf, not so lucky Little Red Riding Hood :)
April 6th, 2014  
Mac
Really well done. Maybe red was the wolf all along for an M. Night Shyamalan twist.
April 6th, 2014  
Reminds of Little Red Riding Hood. Very creative. Love it.
April 7th, 2014  
fav, your creativity is awesome
April 7th, 2014  
Really creative and clever shot. fav.
April 7th, 2014  
Fantastic! Rrh rox all the way!
April 8th, 2014  
Wow! Don't know what you did here but is so creatively fabulous. You must have some pretty wild dreams, Amanda :-) This is another fav for sure!
April 8th, 2014  
@cimes1 Truly. Thank you, Carol!!!

@amrita21 Love that, lady. Thanks.

@bristolrose @susale @sangwann @riverlandphotos @deeganp @kareenking

Really appreciate your wonderful comments and faves. Thanks for appreciating my crazy;-).
April 8th, 2014  
Love the creativity here Amanda. Lovely image...beautifully done!
April 8th, 2014  
Eek, wonderful!
April 8th, 2014  
@eyesmile @stimuloog You ladies are wonderful. Thank you!!!
April 8th, 2014  
Wow, this is so cool, Amanda. I love it. Your creativity is beyond belief. Where did you get the wolf mask? This photo is amazing and super clear like I am standing right there. FAV
April 9th, 2014  
@darsphotos This was perhaps my craziest shot yet (or certainly up there with them). So surprised and blown away by the responses. Thank you!!! I got the mask at Walmart around Halloween last year for $10. I've used it in 5 shots and I think I got my monies worth!
April 9th, 2014  
@amandal You have a lot of fabulous shots, Amanda and you definitely got your money out of this mask.
April 9th, 2014  
A great addition to the red series - and you are certainly getting your money's worth out of that cape.
April 9th, 2014  
@dh Yep, it's borrowed. The mask was $10 and I've used it 5 times:). Such a bargain!
April 9th, 2014  
Oh this is wicked cool - guess I should use tags more often - that's pretty nifty to just to go that tag and call up the pictures!
