PhotoHunters: Shadows and Reflections |
Many have commented on how did I get that "dreamy" feel to my pictures for PH this week. Wish I could take all the credit for it...but the easiest and honest answer is that it was hazy out Friday morning due to the lack of rain here in Dixie. And, although stormclouds framed the perimeter of our horizon and it was thundering 'in the thickets,' we never got that much needed drenching on my side of town. The only altering I did was to crop out extraneous park items and add a feathered border. Other than that - GOD did the rest! Thanx for all the positive expressions and for the constructive critiques of these two photos! All were appreciated!!!
This week I 'made' a cheesy photo of one of my grands showing off her shadow and tho't several times about not putting up anything for this week... until today. I had three of the four granddaugthers and we went on a picnic at the local park which sports a fishing pond about one-half acre in diameter. While the two kindergarten-aged girls were discovering the finer features of the park I snapped this shot. IT's a 2-fer! They were playing in the "shadows" of the park's mulberry trees when they discovered their reflections in the pond. And being the SUPER Mimomma that I am, camera in hand, I took several shots before the reflective discovery became a thing of the past. As I 'reflected' over my pics, I discovered this to be far more eye-pleasing and a WHOLE LOT LESS CHEESY while fulfilling this week's theme!! We had a great Friday - enjoy a picture second of it with me!! Labels: grandchildren, photo hunters |
