About the Image(s)

This image was inspired by our camera club's scavenger hunt topic "Duct Tape". I walked around the house with a roll of duct tape, trying to figure out an interesting place to put it. I wanted to be sure that the light captured the texture of the tape.
I finally thought of the little figure made of silverware, and stuck it in a loaf a bread I had recently baked. I took a lot of shots to get one with the light and perspective the way I wanted it.
From there, it was a simple masking to create the figure, and puppet warp to pose it. I painted on the face. The background was in my library, an accidental shot I took with my phone. I adjusted the color with a hue/saturation layer.
The duct tape texture didn't show up as much as I wanted, so I cloned in a selection of the tape from another shot.
I've got to say, I had a lot of fun with this.
