Contribution for The Sunday Challenge #453: A Zipper (FI: vetoketju - vetskari)

All done on Android phone applications!

Except taking the picture with a "real camera". Although, I also used phone app to remote control and to import the image from camera to phone.

I could find a blue denim zipper only. So, I first used curves tool on Snapseed app to turn the blue hues into red ones (aka inverted the red curve). Then on Pixlr app I made the selective color magic and adjusted the tone of red some more. Pixlr already also limited the red inversion to parts close to the zipper. But I had to fix some details with selective tool on Snapseed, where I also made the final touches.

And because the heavy editing on two separate phone apps removed somewhat all the EXIF data, I finally added the edited version onto original with double exposure tool on Snapseed, as an opaque layer.

And the eyes look funny because of long exposure and turning the eyes ;-)

So funny... and real, because it is what is happening, "they" are trying to put a zipper on us, but with a padlock. Fantastic processing skills and imagination, that is really "you"*******************************

Yes! You got the point! =)

Or a snake ;-)

Maybe I should have made the eyes even darker. I even considered to add an apple onto the "still life" to make the idea more obvious =D
