February 3, 2012 – A year of portraits – The Maroon Mop

Today’s portrait is of the Madisonville-North Hopkins High School mascot who has been the Maroon Mop as long as I can remember, probably dating back to when I was in high school there in the early 1970’s.

Photo was processed using Photoshop CS5 with some burning done to tone down the edges. Afterwards I applied the Topaz Adjust Filter called photo pop to finish off the processing.
