Description Tried something different here. Picture was taken in the garden today, in black and white, and in full daylight. It's an ornament btw.

Used photoshop to darken the background to make it seem more like night-time, added lens flare to the little solar garden light, and added a spotlight lighting effect to show only the hedgehog in full. Then just darkened the side of the ornament to create shadow.

Seems okay to me, not perfect, but its something different to my usual, which is what I was trying to achieve!

It is very dark and brooding. He certainly looks like he's sitting on a throne of evil, watching over his minions of doom. Or similar. Nice picture though!

Heh thanks. I can see what you mean actually by the lighting being off.

Btw, that comments not too negative. Bit of criticism's good for improving.
