Charlotte's Tasty Treat... 48/365

Charlotte's Tasty Treat... 48/365 by SteveBernier.
48/365

Explore #231

It's self portrait Tuesday...well I've done a few self portraits since last Tuesday. Oh well...

I randomly had the idea for this shot last night while I was hunting for textures to use. I like how other people have used textures in their shots, so I thought I would try it out.

...I had to clean my room first to give me some more room :)

This one took me a little longer than I thought, but I am very happy with the results. For once the final product is something that I had in my mind before and not just a product of my randomness...

Oh and the spider...it's from this shot.

Nice shot. well-conceived and executed! The silhouetting (spelling?) is fantastic, but the composition is a bit disgusting nontheless :-).

Very cool.
This reminds me more of Dean Koontz book 'Intensity' though....where the villian actually eats a live spider when no one is watching....
nice job with the texture. :)

LOL no secrets to share...almost all of mine are completely random and usually idea's come out after the shot is already taken. In this case I just had the initial concept and ran with it :)

Okay, I know you're not an old lady, but when I saw this photo, I immediately thought of...

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider.
That wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed that fly - Perhaps she'll die.
