Description
"Did you know... when you go... its the perfect ending... to the bad day... I was just beginning...." - Favorite Mistake , Sheryl CrowOk so-- another in the "series" if we want to call it that. It's another still from the My Favorite Mistake video. It's not 'perfect' but i guess on some level it's not supposed to be. I wanted the shading to be rough, slightly film grain. I think if my shading were soft it would kill the effect I was trying to go for with the picture. I liked that you could get an idea of how she was feeling by the little bit of her face that you can actually see. Again, just thought it was a neat shot.
