A Hilarious Misfortune

I took this picture when I was in England. We were at Stourhead which is where part of Pride & Prejudice a la Keira Knightly was filmed.


I took a picture of myself:



With the intention of photoshopping Mr. Darcy in later. This is the same place where he proposes to her the first time you know with the:



DARCY: Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you. I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgement, my family’s expectation, the inferiority of your birth, my rank and circumstances – all these things -but I am willing to put them aside and ask you to end my agony

LIZZY: I don’t understand.

DARCY: I love you. Most ardently. Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.

Look for these images in this scene:







But I digress . . .

The point was I wanted to photoshop Mr. Darcy into a picture of me in the same place. I finally got around to doing it today. I pulled up a picture of Mr. Darcy looking at Keira. I magnetic lassoed Mr. Darcy, masked and fixed the lines, cut him out, flipped him (vertically) and then dragged the picture into my original . . .


Needless to say, it failed miserably. I need to pay a bit more attention to file size next time perhaps. I didn't even both with cropping the original as I had intended because let's face it, what's the point?

Geeeez
