Medusa - a photo on Flickriver

Medusa

My Get Pushed - Round 42 challenge was given to me by Lorraine Minogue

She suggested that “…perhaps a little imagination might be a good push…” which definitely had me thinking. Some of Lorraine’s first postings to flickr are wonderful creations and I just couldn’t think of anything to match those. Here, instead, is my answer to her challenge.

This was a difficult challenge because it really had me thinking about what I wanted to get across. Then I had to really think about how I was going to do it. These things are usually going through my head when I'm trying to solve any challenge but in this case I knew it would require more than pressing a shutter release - it was going to require some serious post-processing. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. Fun though.

Anyone who’d like a wee Push, consider joining Get Pushed It’s a unique challenge group like no other.
