My wife and I finally finished this art project for my daughter, a custom, full-sized Darth Vader helmet in the style of Hello Kitty. This is not a Photoshop manipulation.
Photo shot for the Flickr group 7 Days of Shooting.

Is it an actual object or is it a manipulated image? I honestly cannot tell--but either way, it is totally amazing.
JD Hancock (47 months ago | reply)
markleggett: Thanks!
j.towbin: Thank you! It is "the real deal." I made minor color and level adjustments in iPhoto, and that's about it!
