My take on the broken theme for week 3. This is a neighbor of mine who is not broken at all -- anything but! But I caught him quasi-napping and processed the crap out of the image to make him look forlorn.
My contribution to the weekly theme: Water Refraction. I actually suggested this one but think I underestimated how tough this was going to be!
