this week's what's your play picture was taken by killashandra. it's a lovely picture, one that brings up images of early autumn mornings, going out to play in the woods or apple picking. (not that i ever did any of that back in the day...) however, i've been seeing a few scary halloween commercials and watching weird paranormal shows on tv (fringe, heroes, the sarah conner chronicles, not to mention most of the CSIs and Criminal Minds). for some reason, when i first saw this picture, i was scared. whatever, i have a vivid imagination! so my take on the picture is slightly dark. it just reminds me of the dreams i have of someone chasing me and i can't see clearly, due not only to the fact that i'm scared but also because my contacts aren't in.


i softened the edges a bit, added a boost of color but turned the lighting down low so there was a more shadowy effect. so now it looks like you're in the corner of this room and it's uber bright out, the kind of bright sunshine that makes the dark inside more pronounced. {creeeeeepy}

note:
i'm doing this event next month: Saving Boobies for Breast Cancer Awareness. Please participate in baking/making something pink and/or in voting.
