plugged in

Hmmm....this is a hodge podge of photographic this n' that. Started with lensbaby edited in Lightroom. But that darn peanut butter she had for lunch! So, in the spirit of Sandbox365 I took it to a plug-in - PerfectEffects. Tried out a preset (I think). Fiddled with a filter (I think). The peanut butter is definitely less noticeable, but I have a lot yet to learn.

I love the softness of this shot and I would not have picked that there was peanut butter hanging around.

Hi April, I'm your get pushed partner for this week. Sorry I've been out on vacation these past few days, so I couldn't set a challenge earlier. You have a great collection of photos on 365. I find it hard to issue you a challenge but here goes.

My challenge is for you to take a long-exposure shot of a water feature to give it a surreal kind of effect. Please let me know if this works for you. Thanks!

[Richard Sayer]

Well April, whatever you did, the result is a simply charming portrait - the softness is so right for your subject - good work.
