Half and Half - The Boardwalk

I am going to post some photos over the next few weeks for the Half and Half challenge.

I won't be posting them every day, but at least I will try and find quite a few half and half images before the end of the month.

I wandered down to the marina yesterday and took some photos at the boardwalk that will be suitable for the challenge.

I have seen some very creative half and half photos so far. A great idea started by Nicole. @nicolecampbell

[Connie Little]

Great half and half image.

[Beryl Lloyd]

You found a great one here Babs - love the solidity sun-bleached boards against the fluidity of the green blue water --- fav

[Sam]

It's a goodie for the challenge.

[Yao RL]

This half half business is very challenging. You are doing well.

[Mel]

Fantastic image for the theme :)

[Lou Ann]

This is a terrific half and half. Love this one, the texture of the wood next to the water is wonderful.

[Ethel]

A beauty, Babs. The half & half is challenging but also addictive. I now have a few up my sleeve, but may run out before the month is up.

@yaorenliu @ethelperry

I can't really understand this challenge - but there are some good entries! Babs, this is a good idea and lovely. Fav

Well you have nailed this challenge with this gorgeous image Babs, like the clarity in the water and the detailed textures on the boardwalk, Fav:)

[Jennifer]

@littleconnie @beryl @gigiflower @yaorenliu @m2016 @louannwarren @ethelperry @quietpurplehaze @pcoulson @jesperani @nicolecampbell @sangwann @richardcreese @pdulis @jessikapanteleios Thanks. In nearly fell in the water taking this shot as I balanced on the edge of the boardwalk trying to line up the left and right and get the square format too. ha ha.

[sally agnew]

Beautiful contrasts and lighting :)

[Wylie]

great lighting and outcome.

[Helen Jane]

I thought, at first, that you were on a very high platform looking down on some trees. Almost had vertigo on your behalf. But the explanation made me feel safer. What a lovely way to capture a window on the ocean life.

[Merrelyn]

Fabulous half and half, Babs :)

[Ulrika]

love this one!

[Taffy]

Great natural capture for this theme!

[Sue]

Great shot for the theme

[gloria jones]

Super half and half shot...nice textures

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great one for the theme, Babs.

[Margaret Brown]

This works so well for your theme! Fav

[Margaret Obey]

Love this.

[Casablanca]

Ew, made my knees go weak - seemed a long way down into the water but it probably isn't! Nice half and half shot.

[Ann Williams]

This works so well for the half and half challenge Babs.

[Catherine P]

What a great perspective.

[Cherrill]

I saw this earlier and had to come back and make a comment! This is just a winner of a half and half shot. Textures, materials and natural textures. Love it, as do so many others!

[KWind]

Great shot! Well spotted and captured.

[Pat Knowles]

I haven't seen this theme but it's working well, great idea here!

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful find and subject to take a great pic, of it .

[Jane Morley]

Clever find for the subject. I like the colour contrast.

[Jen Hudson]

Great contrast of colour and texture, good idea

[Stephanie]

What a great half and half pic, so contrasting but they connect together in that the bridge is from nature as well, fave!

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[leggzy]

Great contrast in colour & textures. Well done

[Richard Brown]

Great contrast between the details of the wood and softness of the water :) fav

[Lin]

Love this - several different aspects have terrific contrast.

[Vera]

I like this one - nice misty atmosphere on the right.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice half and half- I want to dip my toes in that water!!

[Erika]

Wonderful.

[Sharon]

Great idea

[Marnie]

Well spotted Babs, love that contrast.

[Babs]

@helenhall Thanks Helen. The water is only about 3 ft lower than the boardwalk at the marina so not much of a drop really.

[Babs]

@hermann @pusspup @merrelyn @craftymeg @ceilidh @flowerfairyann @cmp @Cherrill @kwind @pyrrhula @chimfa @jennywren @stephanies @bkbinthecity @leggzy @rjb71 @linnypinny @vera365 @olivetreeann @epcello @twinsplusone @golftragic Thanks. It was quite a balancing act to get the picture lined up while I was standing on the edge of the boardwalk.

[Babs]

@casablanca the water isn't too far down, about a metre I think and it is still quite warm too even though it is autumn here, so I wouldn't have got a chill if I'd have fallen in.

[Dawn]

Very cool

[Babs]

@happypat Here is a link to the theme Pat if you are interested. https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/29707/half-and-half-may.

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing thanks Babs!

[ChristineL]

Well spotted, I like the contrasts in the textures and colours of the wood and the water.

[haskar]

nice capture

[Peter H]

Yep, that works for me!

[*lynn]

[Lisa Pouncy]

Excellent. I'm loving seeing all the half and half shots xx
