Bill,
That was Charles in 1940 at Biggin Hill as a newbie pilot. He's aged since then, but won't admit it. ;)
hahahahaha
Oops.
This whole thread I have been thinking of Guy Noir, the detective, from Prairie Home Companion.
So sorry, Charles.
Stay young.
Cheers Egg, I stand corrected ;)
Here is my contribution to the challenge.
Fantastic, Bill !! The Xara building looks really creepy in the background, somekind of dungeon where Darkfather rules :D
Thanks Marcia.
The background was made using XPE to change the contrast and blur the image. I added a contoned clone of the image and Stained Glass transparency to darken the background.
It does make for a dark and creepy image. :)
Hi Bill,
Really looks great and sinister,
Maybe you can add some shimmering lights behind the windows or some flying bats and tombstones

Wow I missed this thread completely...
I think I may have missed some of the jokes/quips and leg pulling too..
Just looking at that photo of Charles I checked the image out and saw the Exif data:
File change date and time: 2005:10:09 16:41:31
Image description: KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA
Image input equipment manufacturer: Konica Minolta Camera, Inc.
Image input equipment model: DiMAGE A2
Software used: Xara Picture Editor @PICT2346(edited2).JPG.xpe
OK the date was October 2005.. But my attention was drawn to the use of XPE for the resizing which retained the EXIF data??
News to me :)
Marcia, your Charles became more Manson than Noir :)
