These two are being shared at Pixel Perfect's Before and After photo challenge. The first shot is "straight out of the camera". I tinkered with the contrast, brightness, and color saturation a bit in Photoshop to produce the second shot. I'm also sharing # 2 at Show and Tell Friday.
I'm sharing this one at Live & Love Out Loud's Summer Photo Challenge and L.E.N.S' Summer Time photo challenge:
Here's one I'm sharing at Kat Eye View, where the challenge is to take a shot from the flower's point of view. I don't know what this guy is, but if I were a flower, it would certainly scare me! And yes, that photo is right-side-up. It's the bug that's upside-down, and Foto Friday's challenge this week is Upside-Down!
Here's one I'm sending to Live Every Moment, where she posted some shots on the theme of "randomness". When I was in Beaufort, I stopped at an "art shop" that had a lot of curiosities on display. This... uh... whatchamacallit... is CERTAINLY a curiosity!!!
Yes, it IS a toilet seat and lid. With dolls.
Anyone care to guess what it means?
I think the next photo is one of my favorites, and I'm sharing it at Macro Monday, Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Friday Photo Fun, Macro Friday and Today's Flowers.
This is my offering for Skywatch Friday and Barn Charm:

ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that's a lot of photo challenges. I'm happy you are joining in with me for Exploring with a Camera! I would be a bit frightened of that bug, if I were a flower. But maybe to the flower, it's a friend, so who knows. :) It's fun to think about though!
