[QUOTE="White Canvas, post: 223058, member: 14766"] Wud, you get behind this image brilliantly. Yes it reflects my mood and feelings towards last weeks non theme and rather Flickr promoting Creative Common licensing. I decided to create something ironic as the groups was being ironic in having a weekly themed challenge group without a theme this week. A guess a mini passive internal protest. :) As for the grainy texture. I learnt this year to use RAW and the benefits of this in Aperture. One of my plugins for Aperture allows this type of manipulation which helped age the image. Giving it that feel of being less cute. I wanted the image to feel some what scary, yet as you pointed out ironic, since the dragon is really lonely and is only playing with the Angels. Yet the one Angel turning around tells more. She is not praying, but looking towards the dragon. Perhaps aware that it is a set up or too frightened to have faith. Anyway it was aimed to be interpreted and enjoyed rather than matching any theme. But it is one of my favorite images in a while. Thank you for taking time to explore the thought behind it.
