Uni Cricket: Mick Uses his Head (to Stop a Ball)
This is the result of using your skull to stop a cricket ball.
Mick stopped a ball I hit off Baz...unfortunately, he happened to use the top of his skull to do so! Mick was OK in the end.
I was hit in about the same place two years ago at training as I bent down to adjust my leg guards. I happened to be wearing my helmet, so the only thing I had to do was readjust the nose pads on my specs (that bent slightly when the helmet was shoved down on my head from the impact of the ball).
Location: Uni Training Wickets
After an initial tweak in Adobe Camera Raw 4.3, I did a bit of layers work in PhotoShop to highlight the bump area (desaturating the colour in the rest of the photo and tweaking the reds in the bump so that it is easier to see).
