I'm not sure why I'm starting a blog.

Anyway this was the halloween zombie walk in Manchester. The lady was actually surrounded by volunteers with bright yellow jackets with refractive stripes and she was underexposed. I had to do a heavy work of cover the bright jackets. I did it twice. The first time only using a paint brush without realising that I was leaving patches of almost black. The got incredibly highlighted when I tried to upload on facebook which has crappy resizing algorythm and which alters also the colors. So the first version was pretty crap. In the second version I did the opposite I covered her with a black layer, added a layer mask and then brought her out slowly. Still not perfect but at least there are no "invisible" patches. She was scary. I put this as my laptop background. She reminds me to be nasty when it is necessary.
