Nobody wanted to play boats with Captain Morgan...
Initially an entry for the August Seed Part Challenge over at www.forbiddencove.com, but withdrawn because the rules specify no all-tiled bases.

Happy St. Paddy's Day! Go out there and get CRAZY!
Just as a side note; I never noticed how Anna's Coronation dress and Elsa's Frozen Fever dress have similar color schemes, and the same can be said for Anna's FF dress and Elsa's Coronation dress (which both have a lot of blue)
Note that there are no established trails. Some well-worn paths have been made by hikers choosing the same route over time, but you are free to roam as you please—and it is encouraged to do so. A 4WD vehicle with high clearance is a necessity for access.
This shot was taken at the same place as a week ago. An other try, always on the east coast of Tahiti Island, French Polynesia, Pacific Ocean
I prefer this one, what do you think ?

Same theme, different girl. We took the same setup as Samantha Anne except instead of a small wink from the beauty dish above we used ONLY ambient Christmas lights on the floor. How's that for off camera lighting? She is sandwiched in between a white sheet on the floor while Ray is holding the white reflector just above her and I'm shooting between the "sandwich"
I love Valerie's smile in this one. Funny thing is I had to turn her up 90 degrees clockwise to do skin retouch. My brain couldn't deal with her recumbent. I did have to do some tweaking with the white balance, exposure, curves, and luminance masking to get it how I wanted it, but not as much as you think. The white fill card amazingly added a lot to the shadow side.
So why worry about the outside?
Okay, this took FOREVER!
And it was A LOT of work.
And you can see some of my eraser lines, so ignore those.
I wasn't sitting as straight as I should of been.
So it's not completely anatomically correct!
The same underdog Raccoon I uploaded relatively recently. The fighting has abated for the time being, and it is keeping a wary lookout for the enemy which has taken a break on a limb close to the tree trunk. As you can see, some minor wounds have occurred. It is still clinging to hanging branches, 40 ft. up a Douglas Fir Tree. (Sidney, BC). (See first comment box below for the fighting shot if you wish, for it is rather buried in my photostream now).

Fox River Valley southbound in the waning months before the WC takes control. A couple of repaints pass the unique Kaukauna, WI depot. I think about 12 people have this same shot. The railfan caravan was insane this day.

Same camera, same film, same time 6:39 am- 6:40 am. Only difference is focus and metering. Who knew it could be that dramatic. Now how to reproduce intentionally.

Same photo as last week and adjacent. First used normal oil painting effect at 75%, then used inverse effect, then used carmine effect.
If you are not French, it’s likely you haven’t ever heard the word “Saintonge”, and have no clue what it means. If you are French, it’s probably the same thing. Unless, that is, you are a fan of Romanesque, in which case you know that Saintonge, that small region of France centered around the town of Saintes (hence the name), not far from the Atlantic Ocean, just North of Bordeaux... features the highest density of Romanesque churches of all the country!
I had never visited that area of France, and so in the middle of October 2021, I took that long overdue trip and stayed two weeks in Saintes, driving left and right daily to photograph all the most significant Romanesque churches... and unfortunately leaving out many others, as they are so thick on the ground!
Today, we continue our visit of the church that will occupy us for the rest of the week, so rich it is from an architectural and artistic viewpoint.
Located in the village of Aulnay, on the border of Saintonge and Poitou, the Saint Peter church was built on a site where Pagan rites used to take place, and where at least one earlier church had been built, as archæology teaches us.
Built between 1120 and 1140, this church was listed as a Historic Landmark on the very first list in 1840, and is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, as it stands on a path to Compostela, the Via Turonensis that comes from Paris, Chartres and Tours. On that path, it is halfway between the cities of Poitiers and Saintes and remained a convenient stopover for pilgrims throughout the ages, and even today.
The earlier church, of which nothing but traces remain, was under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers. Then, the place was handed over to the canons of the Poitiers cathedral, who decided to build the current church, funded it and remained in charge of it until the French Revolution. Located in Saintonge but under Poitevin jurisdiction, this church is a fascinating mix of both styles, with a floor plan of a Latin cross, as was customary in Poitevin Romanesque, while most Saintonge churches have a single nave without transept.
The church is particularly interesting because it managed to escape most of the dramatic events that mutilated so many others: Hundred Years War, Wars of Religion, etc. During the latter, a few sculpted heads were hammered by the Protestants as part of the iconoclastic doctrine taught by Calvin, but it never went further than that.
The old cemetery around the back of the church. For obvious sanitary reasons, it is not used any more, but there are still some very old tombs there, including sarcophagi from the Merovingian and Carolingian periods. Some may even be from the late Antiquity, around 300 or 400 CE.

Reflection on buildings in the early evening...
Modern architecture...
Moscow, Russia.
(The plots and location may be the same..., but cameras and lenses are different...)
Same make up, different hair and a fascinator I borrowed from my wife she also supplied the lighter foundation.. the rest is all mine.
I do like this time of year the whole Halloween thing is a great excuse to really overdress yes even more so than I normally do :-)
Might show the complete outfit tomorrow.
