16b

This shot is titled "16b" because it is attempt #16, and I was in a "b" mood once I finally managed to save a file without the laptop crashing! :((
I understand other 365'ers may consider processing has no place in 'photography' challenges, however the theory of balance, light,composition,colour, form & texture still apply. With each different type of challenge I am learning how other artists/photographers approach their craft and I have a greater appreciation for different styles, even when I can't master their application (like this !! :D)

Well done Lyn, this looks great. Where did you take the photo?

[Lyn Todd]

This is in the gardens of the the Royal Alcazar palace in Seville (taken in 2010 because were were allowed to use our 'old' photos). I tried using a whole range of local shots, but they were even more unsuccessful than this!. Oh well, I gave this a try (LOL)

[Rachel Bell]

Well done!!

[Amy Spada]

Very nice!

[Denise]

Awesome processing and framing. Very creative.

@raebell @aspada @denisedaly thanks ladies - you are really so kind. This was so much harder than I expected !

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

I really like this, and agree that many photographers research where they are going to shoot, aim for the right time of light, and it is hard to do somethings without a fancy edit. I found the Monet challenge actually not so easy, because you need to find the right building, garden, or person to really make the composition and feeling work even before editing.

@brumbe I totally agree with your last sentence.The lesson for me is an appreciation for that. I'm finding the 365 artist challenges are like speed dating my way through an art course! :D
