X Marks the Spot by olivetreeann

X Marks the Spot

Another crazy, busy day! But I did manage to get out and take a few quick shots. I can't seem to get my brain to slow down and I've been fussing over my processing in Picnik, and I think I've finally settled on this one for the day. But maybe I should have posted the rusty bolts, or that fungi growing on the stacked wood, or maybe the old window sash we use as a weight on the plastic covering that keeps the wood dry, or... time to stop thinking and start viewing your shots instead!
You got your "x" . . and it's perfect. Use the other ideas for another time. Your brain works overtime, Ann. I do that too . . many times.

This is a pretty shot! The X was a good find

Great x. Do you think there is a treasure in the hole there
February 8th, 2012  
Well you found a nice one

@karenann thanks Karenann- I didn't include this one in the alphabet challenge. X is not a hard one to find, so I'll be doing that one when it comes up at the end of the alphabet.
@kimmistephens thanks Kimmi- I didn't include this one in the challenge- there are so many out there. It just seemed natural to name the picture that.
@pandorasecho thanks Dixie- oh yes, I do- especially if you're a squirrel!
@bkbinthecity thanks Brian. I won't be using this for the alphabet- X is pretty easy to find.

Nice textures - I really like the leaf top right of this shot too :)

It's fun playing aorund, and it is easy to get wrapped up in the editing. I am going ot miss Picnik. Still haven't found a replacement.

@alia_801 Thank you Alia- that's what drew me to the picture too and why I finally "settled" on it.
@digitalrn Thanks Rick. Someone suggested Pixlr (I think that's how it was spelled and I can't find the note with the name on it at the moment), but I haven't had a chance to check it out.
@woot Thanks Davide!
@adobewaters Thanks Adobe!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen!
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!

cool shot
February 8th, 2012  
Lovely image - b&w does it justice.
February 8th, 2012  
@steeler Thanks Howard- a quick one, but I like it.
@la_photographic Thank you Laura! Since there were several interesting textures here, I thought the b/w would bring them out better than any other option.
February 8th, 2012  
Fabulous in B&W. Great detail.
February 8th, 2012  
Lovely textures and shapes. I agree - sometimes decision-making is so hard!
February 8th, 2012  
Cool shot! The B&W is perfect too!

@allie912 Thank you Allison!
@jmj Thanks Jennifer!
@kimmiesue Thank you Kim!
Thank you all for the support and comments. I really do appreciate them!

I am like that most days too...."Which one? which ones do I post?" But then when I hit a busy day where I take no photos until about 6 PM, I am like "how do I EVER get even one shot?" Haha I love the x but even better is that crater in there! Wow. It looks like an oak leaf was pressed into the wood and made it. Very neat.

@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth! 24 hours later, I'm glad this is the one I posted. It was definitely the best of them.
February 8th, 2012  
this is lovely, Ann. I especially like the leaf in the corner. Processing is perfect for me!
February 9th, 2012  
@kloud Thanks Bonnie- yes that leaf made the picture for me too.
February 9th, 2012  
Excellent texture. Great shot.

@netkonnexion Thank you Netkonnexion- this is one of those shots that the more I look at it, the more I like it!
