Awesome August 24

30 seconds on the beach with my new model (a.k.a. the silly souvenir I picked up in Boston for myself because it reminded me of Kerri and Kimmi's Duckies).
Cute

@kerristephens Glad you like her Kerri! Little Piggy sends greetings to Rastafarian Ducky.

Oh it is a little piggy...guess he went to the beach, not the market!

Your model is cute! Lovely use of selective coloring. 8)

@httpgeffed lol Colleen- I am planning to do a series of that poem with her!
@myautofocuslife Thanks Livia- sometimes I am just a sucker for cuteness.
August 25th, 2012  
Cute idea and love the selective coloring.
August 25th, 2012  
@cimes1 Thanks Carole- I'd done a HDR version, but this one just looked better.
August 25th, 2012  
Cool selective colouring!
August 25th, 2012  
I love Miss Piggy! She is going to have such fun ! Just make sure she doesn't have a house of straw!
August 25th, 2012  
Fun shot.

@salza Thanks Sally!
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! Oh she's in a good place- the shelf above my computer along with 2 smurfs, a frog, Larry the Cucumber, and Yogi Bear.
@nadaa Thanks Nada!
August 26th, 2012  
Hahaha! - is that what you were referring to the other day then?
August 26th, 2012  
@automaticslim (o: Yes- add her to the list of "silly things I have bought for 365".

Nice beach scene.. your little piggy looks cute all in pink..Grace and I just got back from an afternoon at the Beaches in Toronto. it was so hot again today so I suggested to rather go to the beach than to the Toronto EX which in on right now and where it would be hot with all the people making a day of it.. we at least had a nice breeze coming over Lake Ontario. the boardwalk is in the sun but parallel to it is a park with lots of trees so we were in the shade all the time. I took a lot of pictures and I'll post some of them probably in my third album..wishing you a great sunday Ann.
August 26th, 2012  
What a fun shot.
August 26th, 2012  
@bruni Thanks Bruni! Sounds like you had a pleasant day! I've been on and off 365 and iPiccy all day!!
August 26th, 2012  
@denisedaly Thanks Denise! It was fun to take too.
August 26th, 2012  
@olivetreeann Larry the cucumber! Now that I have to see!
August 26th, 2012  
Great beach shot! Love the selective coloring!
August 26th, 2012  
@lyoungs1023 Thanks Elizabeth!
August 26th, 2012  
@maggiemae You can see a pop art version of Larry on March 19th of this year if you feel like viewing it. I don't know how to do that link thing with the photo info, otherwise I'd put it in here!
August 26th, 2012  
Ha!
August 26th, 2012  
Lovely capture. I like your selective colouring. So Kimmi's duckie has a partner now.
August 26th, 2012  
@filsie65 Glad to make you smile Phil!
@sangwann Thanks Dione- a little pink friend on the other side of the country at least!
August 26th, 2012  
Lovely
August 26th, 2012  
@melorac Thanks Carole!
August 27th, 2012  
the little piggy's all set to jump into the water. but first a pose for the camera. hmmm....little wahoo would probably love to go to the beaches, too, methinks. and maybe she and little piggy can be friends, too. :-)

Bev
I love how he's the only thing in color in the picture! Great editing. Fun photo!
August 27th, 2012  
@summerfield Oh absolutely! Little Piggy would love Little Wahoo- BFF!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! I had done an HDR version of her, but it was too cluttered looking to me. So I tried again and came up with this approach, which I liked much better.
August 27th, 2012  
Great - love the way he is the only thing in colour.
August 28th, 2012  
@la_photographic Thank you Laura! I'd processed one in HDR but felt it was too busy. So I tried this and liked it better.
August 28th, 2012  
Perhaps this is one of the three piggies and it looks very happy in its beach house! ;0
August 28th, 2012  
Sweet selective colour
August 29th, 2012  
@potsbypam Well it could be if Little Piggies come from a suburb of Boston! I bought her in a toy store just for 365! I was actually shopping for my grandson, but when I saw Little Piggy she reminded me of Kerri and Kimmi Stephens' Rastafarian Duckies and well, the rest is history...
@wenbow Thanks Wendy. At first I'd processed it in HDR but it was way to busy so I tried this approach and really liked the results.
August 29th, 2012  
Fun. Love the selective colouring and the look of the slight tilt to the shot. The pov makes it look like it goes on forever.
August 30th, 2012  
@edie Thanks Edie! It was taken from my beach chair- too lazy to get up!!
August 30th, 2012  
Great view of the beach. I love the selective coloring.
September 3rd, 2012  
@henrir Thank you Henri! I had tried this shot in color and HDR but it was just too busy. This way you really can tell what the subject is.

Lyn
Ah, I missed this before. . .but I'm glad I found her, especially since it seems that she may be coming back to visit again and again!
September 5th, 2012  
@lyno lol yes- can you believe this Lyn? A 56 year old woman buys herself a plastic pig in a toy shop as a souvenir from her trip to Boston! What we do for 365!
