How Did This Get Here?

Desperation shot. I would love to post a record breaking shot that makes it to the PP and everyone raves about but the truth is I am probably not even mediocre and this shot proves it, however I did take it today,post it today , and it is SOOC.

Some days thats all we can do. And some days SOOC is all that the shot needs. :)

Hey...don't feel like that Katy! I love your photos. Photography is slowly getting more and more fake; with lashings of processing and an endless stream of 'ethereal' shots turning up. I'm more than willing to hold my hands up and admit that I'm guilty of overdoing the tweaking!

Photography was intended to capture moments. As time goes by, the art is becoming more and more intricate; slowly detracting from the original purpose.

Your shots are refreshing. Keep up the stellar work, cariad! x

@goleudy Kez,I can't tell you how much your encouragement has helped me get over my little pity party! Thank you so much.

@goleudy what is cariad?

[Kez]

@grammyn **Slaps wrists!** Sorry; it's Welsh. It's sort of 'sweetheart' or 'love' - something you use to convey friendly affection. (I have a terrible habit of dropping Welsh words into things; I apologise. *Chuckle!)

@goleudy I guessed along those lines and am thrilled you drop them. It gives me a chance to learn about other cultures and languages. Thanks!
