Boy George
I have only just realised that a photo I took of this bloke in a beaded hat and jacket (on right) at the Kent County Show is Boy George. Just seen his photo in the Daily Mail. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Entertainment/20110610/boy-george-sober-wishes-110610/

I did this montage for a recent competition on a photograph forum.

Re: Boy George
I can't imagine a show that has both Boy George and (apparently) Morris Dancers! Now that really is a wide musical taste.

Boy George
Very nice montage work Sophie. What was the theme for the competition?

Boy George reminds me of 80s (and those UGLY clothes)! But a few years ago (in 2007 I guess) he was all over the news in Norway! Why? Because he was convicted for restraining and beating a Norwegian male escort!!! Bizare, ha?

Re: Boy George
Steve they were just wandering around the County showground at Detling except for the girl who was performing as a student of Thanet College. I was representing my college and snapping away at passers by at the same time.

Daniel, the brief on the photography website was 'Digital Dexterity'. Boy George was an 'enfant terrible' & perhaps that is a little too kind. Says he's reformed.

Thanks Debs. I got 8th place for the one you like and 9th for the other one /10.

Here is the image that got the forum votes for first place. One of those filters I think. Not spherise, the other one, polarise?. Quite a clever choice of image to apply the effect to (sound of grinding teeth).
