This is the photo I used for my sc. Funny working on it I like it better than the day I took it. Hope you will like it too. I thought to post it last night but I had hit the wall by the time I posted. I couldn't even look at your photos so going to do that now.
@vignouse Well, it does because I didn't like it that well. Not enough blur in the back ground. I didn't love the sc either. Hoping for a better result tonight. Not fun going to bed feeling defeated.
@joansmor What was implicit in my comment is that of the two, the colour one gets my vote. And stop beating yourself up - nobody on here can post a masterpiece every day... and if you get it right today, you'll need to find something else to keep you occupied tomorrow ;-)
