Karohemd's World

Slept throughout the day until about 6, then got up and attacked some Antarctica photos.  I hope that another 8 hours of sleep will put me right enough that I can go to work and, consequently, to FFW but I'd have to be really fit for that as I don't want to be a burden on anyone and a sniffling/sneezing/coughing karohemd would be.

This icon was inspired by sogoth's "Sadness is a cold monkey" icon but I think the text needs to be stronger. Any good tips for accomplishing that?
I don't want to make the photo any smaller so you can still see the seal properly. I might try overlaying the text...

ETA: with "stronger" I actually meant "more visible or legible" Is it legible enough at the moment?

Shrublette had brought her Trex which is not only cool but has a sort of wireframe inside its body so it's almost fully posable (unfortunately not in the arms or the jaw) so there had to be done something. I think this quick test was actually very successful (see icon) so many thanks to Mup for doing the posing.
Next time we need to do this properly with a "set" and better framing.
I also need to refine the pic so it looks a bit better.
And I had a quick play with Mup's 105mm f2.8 macro:

This weekend I should be able to finish the Jeni/ny collective.
Next up: Tombstone, Rome Burns/Eva O (hopefully by next weekend)
Then catchup of the previous ones of puddingcat and vulgarcriminal plus cryx and autumn_storm.
Too bad I won't be able to finish all this before the shoot with Maria and Heidi on the 21st/22nd.
Damn my inability to cope with that stinking virus! Five full days down the drain. :o(

Anyway, this was just to show off my new icon, courtesy of the marvellous and talented sogoth. :o)

lark_ascending just found Dalek Mood Icons.
