Before and After 3 by olivetreeann

Before and After 3

Well, seems like I'm on a roll with these entries for the photo club's January meeting but truth be told I didn't get any decent pictures today! So I pulled this one up to play and decided to send it to an art gallery. I have two versions- this one, where I kept the photo as is and hung it on the wall; and another where the photo has been processed into an abstract painting and hung on the wall. The latter really shows no connection to the original, so I will probably not use it. However, I don't like how stark the original looks in this version. So I think I'll work on this a little more (unless you all convince me otherwise!).

One thing that I have noticed in this shot, and with my shot of the apples, is that the pictures are totally out of focus. I know that I took my apple shot in focus. And I also had taken it with a larger picture ration (I think that's what it's called although my simplistic brain wants to say I shot it in a rectangle and this is a square!). So, I'm dissatisfied with the sharpness of the original and how it effects my ability to play around with the shot. But I do like the idea here- so maybe it will be clever enough to raise a chuckle or two.
now i'm totally lost, and you think you have a simplistic brain. the right photo looks good to me and that frame on the wall is awesome!

Thanks all! I learned tonight that it may be the way I'm opening these photos in Dropbox that is causing the blur. I will be fiddling around with it tomorrow to see if I can open it in the program that came with my camera. I'm am horrible at figuring this stuff out! But at least now I know that I should be able to get completely focused and full-sized pictures if I can figure out how to open the shots a different way.
