I had a go at using some selective desaturation and burning. It's not a real grunge, I think it is more a "semi-grunge"? Does the result work?

Works for me Doug, tho' I think the title should have been "Conductor passed out drunk 'lion' on the tracks".

Bob.

Oh, come on Bob, he's wearing his little conductor's outfit!

[Edit: Ah, I see what you mean. I changed the title completely. ]

Hehe very cute, I like the shadows and lighting that runs across the scene.

Hehe, thanks Ronza.

Nice one Doug - may I suggest cloning the eyes to white for that real passed out look

Ah.. I was wondering what to do about the eyes. I thought it was a shame when I was taking the photos that the eyes were so wide open.. Hmm I need to make them look sleepy/groggy. Thanks Chris.

I'm not sure if the white eyes are much better? I'm not an illustrator, I don't know how to do groggy eyes..? Shouldn't they be half closed?

I changed the eyeballs.

I htink someone else has been hitting the bottle eh Doug....

MATT

Nice one Doug, where did you get access to a trainline or something similar for this shot ?

I do wonder why you were out photographing with a toy lion and a bottle of Jim?

But then you are a Doug

Thanks Craig, this is a bit of railway line at balmoral that is a kind of outdoor museum of where the old tram line used to be. It is only a very short piece of track, but I kept it in mind for a spot to go for photography if I ever need a bit of railway line.

Unfortunately when I got there today, most of it had been grown over by grass and weeds. This was the only bit of the track with not much grass.

Dug, I took this crazy photo for a photo assignment. Otherwise ideas like this don't come into my head that often... honest! Hehe.

That explanation is for MattC too!

works for me.

well done

steve

Great, thanks Steve.

no wonder the trains are late or cancelled. The train driver cant hold his drink.

That's just the thin end of the wedge, Nito!
