washing ashore

I thought this was a throw-away shot at first. I was playing with my Speedlight and wanted to see what would happen if I just dumped it right on to my subject a la Weegee. Kenobi could have done without the annoyance, but he's never understood my needs, artistically speaking. After a few adjustments in Aperture I got something with some intriguing textures to it. And my 10-trillionth shot of Kenobi.
