255/366 Fifteen Years
Explored Sept. 11, 2016
A pickle tribute as we remember the WTC, Pentagon and Shanksville on this 15th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks in the United States.
For We're Here - Pickles!.
Also for Sliders Sunday: I cut the pickles, using a skyline shot from the internet as a guide for shape and scale, and placed the pieces on an orange table napkin. I cut a portion of ocean out of another one of my images. The ocean already had a nice shadow (made by a container ship) that I could use for the twin towers. I used the burn tool to darken the upper edge of the water, and to make shadows for the other buildings. Then I decided to put some blur effects on the napkin background, to give a flavour of chaos, and a slight radial blur to hint at a bullseye on the towers. I'm hoping that Fred will eat the pickles now, as they're not really my cup of tea...
