Clark says:

First off, I'm not a big fan of this challenge because I'm not one to take a lot of portraits, much less selfies. Second, as you can see, my little buddy just has to steal the show any chance he gets.

Debbie says:

Here I am sitting outside under some trees in our yeard. I love being outside and hiking. We also have had some small wildlife visit us since we moved here 30+ years ago. I am at a loss of how many of all the widelife.that have visited but we don't see or hear any more.We have had foxes, peasents, Golden eagles, Kestrels and Quail. These and a variety of other birds. So I have hope that my husband will get well and we can go back to hiking in the foothills. I used dreamscape with this. and just normal edits.

This is a montage of one of my dad's quilts (as that is what I've been working on a lot lately), and me. Maybe it is a metaphor to visually show that part of him is inside me.

Week 48, Shadow Play

Chris says:

When I saw the challenge, my first thought was to go to Longwood Gardens at night to capture the shadows generated by this contraption - not sure what they call it. To be clear, the pattern on the ground are shadows generated by the light inside the structure. On Monday night I went over to the gardens. I got there around 7:15 and stayed until 9:30. I started and ended my time at this spot. There were far less people in my way later in the evening. I ended the evening talking photos while walking around the structure and put together a Pep Ventosa version as well, but I chose this shot as I liked it the best for showing off the pattern of shadows.

Cheryl says:

My travels brought me back to the river.(the Guadalupe) My plan was to capture the sunrise and use HDR to get the sky not blown out along with details of the trees and river colors. The HDR did a great job, but I still needed LR and the brush to soften the sunrise.

This is a little jewelry chest I got in high school - it's lost in clasp (you can see), I used the Blossom filter in Prisma but pulled it way back so just a hint.

A flashlight - a chair back, the floor, and a rug. I liked the abstract vibe. The red is from our red lamp light bulb - not manipulated.

Carol says:

In November, the lines and shapes of barren trees and foliage stand out against muted yellows, blues, and browns. A stark contrast to the October’s burst of orange, red, and yellow hues.

A perfect Fall Thanksgiving Day in Marfa, Texas. Taken after a communion service with community meal held outdoors at a local BBQ joint. Edits were slight leveling, and some increased exposure before upping the contrast.

Hugo says:

Buffalo is a majestic animal, and I was lucky to see a group of them, but this one protected them. It's just a 45 minute drive, but it's so nice to see Elk, Deer, Buffalos, Coyotes, and wild turkeys... and it's all so beautiful to watch and be grateful for.

I stayed out for an hour in the early morning. It was cold but very satisfying. It is amazing how many opportunities a person has with that amount of time.

Remembering Wars
I attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre. It was a heartfelt ceremony honoring those who served our country. It was also the first time I joined in singing G-d Save the 'King'! ( I usually live under a rock!)

This is a neon pothos - or it was. Imanipulated the color (obviously), but then used the unedited layer below - erasing some of the color manipulated layer to keep the firely orange..

I had a bit of fun blending an image on top of itself - and did a color pop to emphasize the rainbow.
