Last Shell Dispatched
Uploaded: December 28, 2010

At the culmination of the Washington Crossing Re-enactment on Christmas Day, the Artillary Group had fired the last round (my ears were thankful) and were cleaning the cannon as a comrade walked by. Few spectators remained. Hip-Hip Hazzah! HIP-HIP HAZZAH!

Well, the guys were having a good time, and the soldier standing by the tree was laughing. So I had to rearrange his lips! (see comment area).

234 years ago, even as big as that tree is in the background, it wasn't there at the time. Boy we have come a long ways.

Great action shot and nice transplant on the lips, Michelle! I still like playing in the dirt! #9129188Michelle Alton December 28, 2010
Mike just reminded me...in case anyone wants to know how I "did" the lips, it is NOT a swap or transplant. I used the Liquify filter in Photoshop to slightly downturn the corners of his mouth. Took about 10 seconds!Kaye Burazin December 28, 2010
