REFLECTIONS ON A BLUE DAY

"Reflections on a Blue Day" (7-6-09 3412ev2) is from one of my oldest edited versions of a pic that I no longer even have the original for. I posted a different recent editing of that old edited version here a couple days ago. This one today has been fussed with a couple days running and I don't think any further work on it will help. IMHO, it has something, if not "everything." Of course, what does have everything ... though some things (and some of my pix) do come a bit closer ...

TREE AT SUNRISE

"Tree at Sunrise" (8-5-09 5006v2f) was morphed yesterday from one of my oldest versions of an old pic (at least 8 years old), and just this morning tweaked further. (Color combo and contrasts lacked a certain "ooomph.") This tree is one of those eucalyptus of which I often take pix of its root system. This one also has a wonderful trunk twist, as may still be apparent under all the fussing I did on the pic.

SHADOW GAMES

"Shadow Games" (7-6-09 3412v4) was just fudged from a very old version of a pic, for which I don't even have the original unfussed with pic anymore. I've always liked those angled shadows and other dark shapes. I've tried doing something with that almost central black blob-like shape/shadow as it always winds up distracting me, but with no success. And yet, and yet, I still like this old pic. (BTW, as to not having the original, unedited pic anymore: this is from the time when I mistakenly -- and thanks heavens, only briefly -- believed that once I'd edited a pic I could safely delete the unedited one. Yikes! I rather quickly realized my mistake there!)

ANTICIPATION (#2)

"Anticipation (#2)" (6-28-09 2996ev2) was just now fixed up a little bit from a very old version of an even older original pic of mine. One of my oldest pix, actually. Always liked something about this scene, though don't think anyone else who's seen it over the years has been particularly impressed with it. Guess they'd have been happier if there'd been a couple of folk, sitting next to each other there. How's that for rationalizing my attachment to what's probably a rather mediocre pic? :-)

TILT!!

"Tilt!!" (4-13-18 010v2a) was just morphed from a rather new pic. Clearly, I've fudged the behoositz out of it and had great fun doing so. Nothing much else to say since now I'm back to the rotten mood I was in before I dove into working on this pic (and just prior to that, my poem with pic post for the day). I'm always more or less sad to leave that explorative state of consciousness, where time doesn't exist and there's nothing in front of me but the unknowns of the poem or photo, and its unfolding. But today is one of those days when the leaving's particularly upsetting. Like leaving a home I only remember is always and ever temporary, when I have to leave it.
