a messy business, this... by summerfield

a messy business, this...

dreary day, rain, fog, rain and more fog. not in the mood to go out and find some hallowe'en decors to shoot. and it's a busy day at the office so you get an also-ran from last week's macabre theme of five plus two. this is one of the seven shots i took. you get a double self-portrait as the one in the frame is from a photo in 2020. took me the whole night last night to process this and i was wondering why i couldn't get to sleep. as it was, i only had 2 hours of sleep and then i just gave up and started work early.

this is for the "halloween" prompt for today's one week only mini challenge. tomorrow, the prompt is 'opposites'.

this is for week 44 of the 52 captures challenge, the challenge being "horror". if you don't find the concept of this portrait horror-ific, then i congratulate you - you are made of good stuff!

if you're doing a lot of editing on your photo, know that etsooi-147 is on and backdated to october 24.
My first thought was to see the horror of this scene but then had to laugh at the expression on your face.

Terribly gruesome but a well done composite.

Horrendous goings on where you live Vickie hope you can get some stitches.

Love, love, love it—especially the facial expression. You’re cracking me up. I think I’ll send Dan a link to this Crypticon-worthy composition.
