yo! get a move on!

death is on a tight schedule...

i haven't the time to list the number of things that went wrong in making this shot - and it still really isn't quite up to snuff... but after all the effort i put in, and given that my hubby was so cool about being in this shot (his first appearance i do believe), i felt i should post it...

for the mad minute word challenge...

falcate
fal·cate [fal-keyt] adjective
curved like a scythe or sickle; hooked; falciform.

ps - you kinda need to look at this large... just not TOO large, 'k?

Never mind what went wrong, just look at what's right! Another fabulously weird and wonderful image!

Fun. I like the way his part looks like it could be the cover off an old chess book.

Very creative :)

For someone who's "rarely seen in front of the camera" you are outstanding in this series - yet again!

Love it, love the idea and in my eyes beautifully done
July 4th, 2013  
Wow, cool, and good for him! I think the tiny person gets a little lost in the chess piece.

So original! Love the scythe. :)

David captured my reaction. You may have had something else in mind, but it stands out as a very interesting/intriguing image, worth looking at for a bit.

You've certainly got your money's worth out of that chess set. Do you ever actually play chess?
July 4th, 2013  
@dh "play" chess? Why??? ;)
July 4th, 2013  
@archaeofrog you're prolly right... I didn't have a lot of time to play around w set up (hubby had only so much patience at end of long day)... And in the end I thought mini-me wld have been more lost against the black background... But good point nonetheless and something to think about next time I give this a go... Tx!

@kittikat tx :). Guess I shld update that to "rarely seen without a mask". ;p
