A Galvanized Memory

Now this picture has so many flaws it's not funny. Of course, I never noticed them until others pointed them out to me.

The intention of this picture was to create a male character for the story which I'll never finish. Here, he was supposed to be shouting in victory with his very shiny blade. As you may have noticed, his mouth is not open, nor is the blade shiny at all. But I did get one thing right, the picture itself is meant to be an old photograph. You can see the tarnished edges, and the fading colours as the picture nears the edges.
