HOLD!!!!!!

this was ridiculous... but i'm not entirely unhappy with how it turned out...

the background is an underpass... which i edited the crap out of... cleaned up some rough patches then blurred it hither thither and yon... at this point i have no clue which blur filters i used or how i used them...

i added cloaked me in photoshop...

as for the scythe... i didn't have one, so i was holding a broom... then i found an image of a scythe on the interwebs (it's a piece of costumery), printed it out and took a picture of it and then stuck it to the broom handle in place of the bristles in PS... (i'm pretty sure i'm not violating any copyright laws 🥴)...

i *think* this qualifies as negative space, and it's kind of an Adamski effect... that's my story and i'm sticking to it...

Well! Scythe me! Amazing editing exercise as much for the time involved as anything else.

Such a fabulous 'bit' of faffing. I also would never argue with a person carrying a scythe.
