Slicing Raspberries

The first picture I took was of me on my back, on the floor. That was complicated because I took it all with 10 second to spare on my camera timer. I use to lift my lower body up above my head like that ALL THE TIME as a kid. I even watched tv like that sometimes, I don't know, I thought it was comfortable lol. But when I tell you the struggle! LOL. I came down too fast out of that stance and ended up pulling my tricep muscles in both arms. MAJOR Charlie Horses. UGH! I ended it with, "That's good enough," and moved on to the second stance. 

In the second stance, I just bought a new suitcase, so I sat on it and positioned my hands and feet. In Photoshop, I cut myself out of both images and pieced them together. I turned off the saturation of the photos to make them black and white. Followed by playing around the curves dialog box to make my skin darker. I added a warm hot pink layer on top, followed by turning down the opacity to 30-50%. So that you can see me through it. I changed the mode to soft light. And Viola! Oh... I also added white panels in certain areas where my body connects, to break it up and make it look interesting.
