Berserker Shield (1), above, is going on four years old, but just revised this morning. Both photos today were worked on using a combination of one new and one limited capacity program I have available right now on my new computer. Once I get into Photoshop Elements I have hopes of more choices again. However, its ways are rather different from anything I've worked with before. So I want to give my poor old brain a chance to adjust to everything else new with this computer before tackling Photoshop Elements. In any case, I had fun getting these color effects and contrasts with this old photo. They really bring out those spines and patterns on the largest cacti.

The colors on Berserker Shield (2), below, give the shield are more active aspect, I think. As opposed to those on the version above that lead to imagining the shield propped up at rest.
