my get-pushed challenge this week from Martine @3sixty5 was to "design a cover of a garden magazine/glossy."

this started out as a 'looked better in my head' kind of shot, but with some Nik magic I came up with this. I liked a kind of retro look.
@3sixty5 thanks for the challenge, I enjoyed it

Yes - takes me back in time. Great layout and just the right text fonts to set off the images. Love how you have created a golden autumn tone.

hi, kali. thaank you for the push and the feedback. i have gone through your portfolio and i see that you have also done all sorts of shots and have them quite well i myself am having a hard tine coming up with a challenge for you. but i see that you like to dabble in post processing. there is a shot that i had been aiming to do but it involves post process and i only use some of the more simple online apps. but i take it you have photoshop or probably even if you don't you are so adept with the use of most pp programs i would assume.

enough with the blah-blah. my challenge for you is to do something similar to this: http://365project.org/northy/just-because/2013-04-07 it is one of northy's masterpieces. you can employ different subjects but this is the idea. i'm thinking this is not really a challenge for you as i think think you are a very smart photographer and processor, you'll probably be thinking "peanuts!" thank you and have fun.
