I have no idea what makes me do stuff like this. There are plenty of legitimate Dick Starr Browns images around. So what makes me look at a minor league Baltimore Orioles image (which I posted
here a while back--not gonna re-post it here) and decide
THAT'S the St. Louis Browns image I want? Beats the heck out of me. Maybe it's the challenge or maybe I like torturing myself.
Generally, I'd say my work on this one is sloppy. In many regards. But.... eh. The blue is not intended to be sky. I've seen that fence in other images and there's a town (and what I think is a train) beyond that fence. Could be a different part of the fence, but I took it to be one of those tarps you see teams use in warm-ups when they don't want to lose any baseballs. Probably should have gone with sky, huh? Biggest issue I had on this was that Dick's face printed up as very washed out. Had to isolate the face and crank the contrast on it. Also had to build up (a little) because of my stupid template.
