Chicken with Chicken Plate [Contest Finalists March 2006]
Uploaded: March 22, 2006 21:03:48
For Rakesh
f/4, 1/60s, 22 mm, ISO 400, indoors at the All Night Eggplant in DeWitt, NY, night. I created the plate by making a pattern out of the chicken (original) and using the paint bucket set to pattern to fill a selected circle. I got the idea looking at one of Rakesh's photos.
I created the shadows because it looked weird without them, using the burn tool.
I will hopefully include the original. And an earlier attempt at using the pattern.
For Rakesh and also for Janine, Scott and Shari, the last three people with whom I ate at the Eggplant.

WOW another picture for Country Style Magazine to go with Nina's. Absolutely wonderful Mary. It looks like you could pick that chicken up on its own and it is hard to believe that plate is not really a plate! #2567427Carla Metzler March 23, 2006
