Illustration for Solicitation

Michael Green poses for an illustration about the time-honored remedy of chicken soup for the common cold. Let us know your traditions for beating a cold or flu — or for preventing getting sick in the first place. (Digital photo illustration/©Ken Ritchie/The Madison Courier)

A friend told me that I made the “sick” guy look like a hobo. I tried not to take offence, even though that is my hat and scarf.

I like what you were going for here. Did you use a blue gel to produce that sickly skin tone?

No, this was shot was digitally altered to add steam to the soup, to exaggerate the perspective of the bowl (make it bigger) and to "sicken" up the skin tone. Now filter was used on the flash.
