Selfie - my Opposite. by cdonohoue

Selfie - my Opposite.

OK. I am here today to brag. I got a first place in this category of the Scavenger Hunt from Judge Alan Shapiro - who I admire to the moon and back. He is an awesome photographer who is a huge presence on google+ and always works to inspire others. Bear in mind the judges have no idea who the photographer is on any given shot.

This is my opposite because this woman is warm, sweating, somewhere she doesn't want to be and fractured. I've worked hard in my life to really like myself, be in the place in the world where I feel like I belong - so, I've got it together most of the time. And I was freezing when I processed this shot back in Cincinnati.

This is a mosaic of shots that are all mine.
Congratulations Cathy!!A wonderful mosaic!! FAV!!

The minute I saw this, I knew it was a winner! You astound me. I wouldn't know the first thing about how you did this, but I'm blown away! Faved

@timandelke It is quite easy. Download Andreamosaic. It is a free program that I ended up paying more for more options. Then you load in your shots and the program does all the work. When you consider what folks spend on models and props for the Hunt my $25 was really cheap.
March 16th, 2014  
So many congratulations Cathy.....you are an inspired photographer here....I am in awe of your cleverness!

@yonnie Thank you Yvonne.
@seanoneill You just made me tear up a bit. It is really quite easy with the AndreaMosaic program. I am still over the moon that the photographer that I admire totally gave me a 1st on this shot.
March 19th, 2014  
@cdonohoue I wish I checked my typing Cathy. Blame it on big fingers and a mind that races!! I have Andrea Mosaic, it is very clever. Good for you, such a thrill. I have never even come close to winning even a challenge on 365!!
March 19th, 2014  
Looks great and colourful! Cool! Happy to hear your photo got great critique from one of your fav photographer - must feel awesome!
March 20th, 2014  
This is super cool! Congratulations on your 1st Place!
I highly admire photographers who have such a great passion for photography that they will help others in their pursuit of improving their photography skills. I joined a camera club last year and it was so cut throat I left after a year.

@skipt07 I went to an outing here of a camera club. I was my smiling self and not one soul even nodded to me. That was all it took. I have found the folks one line to be the most supportive and fun community ever.
