I decided to go with what I had the most to choose from. Bovine Backsides. I like this big fellows attitude and his total lack of inhibition about his body. He was a pleasure to work with. I used a texture from my collection so the metadata may show that instead of the bull but the bullshot is fresh from today.

The gap between the hood and fender on my wife's minivan (she needs one for those quilt retreats, you know). This is a color photo, it's just a grey van shot in a somewhat dim garage. I upped the clarity a bit, otherwise unedited.

I chose to spare you all from a selfie (haha) and decided a winter’s snowy day needs hot chocolate. I was not pleased with the “stream” because there is minimal humidity here. I created the filter effect first with Prisma. The steam was added in MotionLeap.

This is the backside of a wonderful violin. The wood has this amazing stripe. I left it in the case for the blue and was pleased that the refelctions were also blue. Only basic edits and several tiny speck/spot removals.

Almost immediately after posting this, I thought of my best backside option. The story and photos are here: https://rickytims.smugmug.com/2022-PhotoExtras/
