Not Forgotten

I spent time on this image pretty much experimenting with some of the tools in Photoshop that I am not familiar with. I know the whole image is a little hokey but I just couldn't get past the chocolate waiting for me hidden in the bottom of my dresser drawer. Anyway, I did have a little fun with this, especially using the filter "texturizer" with stained glass and craquelure.

At one time, the wine was a deeper shade. I don't know what happened to it. It should have been more like the red in the bottom of the image. Maybe it just sat out too long and got weak.--skunk

Good job! Especially putting a better face on that guy, and did you trim a bit of his flab. too?
It's a great idea, too. I think the wine could be redder, a metaphor for spilt blood...

I am so happy you chose to change the head...and the sadness of the Kennedys is so well depicted (at least I think it's Ted). Layer blending works so well with those stars, don't you think? The straw heart, the composition, the blood goblet...all tell a very poignant story.
