The Power of Suggestion

A new follower of mine, Don Houpt, suggested that I take yesterday's Book Club shot, flip it 90 degrees (in either direction) and add a "bit of a dark vignette" it intrigued me. So I did it! What do you think? I think I like this better. Thanks Don!

@DonHoupt Well, what do you think Don? Does it look like what you thought it would? I like the effect and I think the turn gives the shot more interest.

Thank you Dina, Alexandra, Dione, Cindy, Daisy and Bev! It was fun to try this out and I really do think Don had a great suggestion which improved the shot!

I like it! It still retains all of the detail and composition of the original, but you know, sometimes just a different angle is all it takes to appreciate something in a new way. Nicely done, Ann.

@donhoupt No, thank you! I do like it better- it was a great idea.
