Dark and Disturbing! Peikko makes Chuckie look like a NERD! Love the Hair. Outstanding Processing. Favorite!

Incredible work!

ibraheem 10 May 13:30

excellent processing

junglejennifer 10 May 13:43

Creepy but cool. Am I the only one that is ever bothered with the gray look many HDR photos have after processing?

kufitar 10 May 13:55

Junglejennifer, the troll's hair is all gray and she's sitting on a gray felt :-)

Digicam, you're right! "Peikko" is a creature from Finnish mythology (my original home). J.R.R. Tolkien wrote "Lord of the Rings" based on Finnish national epic, Kalevala. There are quite a few creepy characters wondering in Nordic forests :-D

Great shot, due to the shallow depth of field though I would have left the knife out because its blurred.

risotto 10 May 21:28

Yes!Perfect.
