Touch wood, get lucky. Pray for my brother Evan. Pray that any received boost to his fertility due to this act does not act before his time.

I asked him to make the look we would want the world to see while performing this act. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the very core of him.

This exposure was challenging. There were some badly blown-out spots on the left that were cropped off this frame. First I processed the RAW file with custom curves to bring the most detail out of this frame. Next, to maintain detail in the shrine yet increase sharpness and contrast on the exterior I applied a mask to the interior and any parts that would blow-out on the outside before changing any levels and finally saving the file.
