 Meet Sammy. Sammy is the little guy.
The big one is called Bomber Jack.
Sammy and Bomber Jack are 2 of 5 snails I keep.
Sammy likes to go on trips with Bomber Jack but, for the obvious reason, he can't keep up with him.
And Bomber Jack always gets lost. The trip back home is not the issue: his trail is well enough present to find the way back.
But heading somewhere causes problems each time.

So they came to an agreement: Bomber Jack agreed to take Sammy on his back and Sammy plays GPS from up there.
You should see them go now...

I have some small hopes for this entry but I've learned that DPC often has another opinion. Especially in F.S.

- CameraRawAdjust
- Crop
- Clean (Bomber Jack started a "little" poop during the takings of this series. I noticed it was slightly visible on the photographs and I really didn't want to leave that thing in)
- Some Dodge & Burn
- Resize
- Add border (colour picked out of picture - an eye of Bomber Jack to be exactly)
- Save as Jpeg and rename

Outtake:


Sammy and his friends got their own little corner in my portfolio. Over time every friend will find its way to there.

I'm pleased with the result.
My goal was to see it in my top 4.
A small hope was to see it break 6.
And it did. On top of that in a FS...
I'm not used to this.
Gives me some "drive" after a period full of hesitations.
