For WWYD

It was really nice to win the last WWYD Challenge - until I had to try to choose the starting image for the next Challenge! It's quite difficult! I thought maybe this SOOC image may offer some possibilities...

[Sarah]

Great image. I should have with this. I know how you feel about finding an image. I thought it would be easy but it is difficult t o find something different but suitable

[Sarah]

Mean to say have some fun with this

[Rob Z]

@sarahlth Thanks so much for your reply Sarah - It's so good to know that you can see something that you might like to try. Will look forward to seeing your end result!! Cheers Rob.

Amazing image- the sun almost an egg in a nest ! Very clever !

[Rob Z]

@fr1da Hi Frida - thanks for your nice comment on the sunset. My camera has a "posterize" setting which I had never played with. It produced this image. :)

[Dorothy]

Unreal! The sun looks as if has melted the landscape beneath it.

[JackieR]

That;s why it;s nice to come second Rob!!!!!

[Rob Z]

@nobled Thanks Dorothy. The"posterize" setting produced this - first time I've tried it. Cheers Rob

[Rob Z]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL - how true Jackie!

[Batya]

Wow! very striking.

[Rob Z]

@shilohmom Thanks Batya - this was taken out west of our usual place - cold but great sunsets.

[Suzanne]

Great choice Rob, I shall get my thinking cap on. Congrats for the win, a most excellent entry, although I do like @30pics4jackiesdiamond reasoning! I also hate choosing the finalists, another downside of winning :)

[Rob Z]

@suzanne234 Thanks Suzanne - it's good to hear that you think it will work! Thanks for the congrats too - and I agree totally with you - it's so hard choosing finalists. I thought your idea of choosing one from each entrant was a great concept - people put so much thought and effort into entering that it's nice to showcase something from each person. I'll look forward to seeing what you create - love your imagination! Cheers Rob

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Looks like a good starting image to me... now to think about what to do with it!

[Marnie]

Oh wow, love the vivid colours in this shot. Should do well in WWYD.

[Granagringa]

Quite the sooc image!!!! Can't imagine want to change it...but then again, I'm the 365 luddite (lol)

[Rob Z]

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann - good to get your positive feedback - I was a bit worried about it! Will look forward to seeing yours.

[Rob Z]

@golftragic Thanks Marnie - it sounds like it might be OK - bit of a relief!

[Rob Z]

@granagringa LOL - Luddite indeed!! This was SOOC using the "posterize" setting on my camera. First real try with it! I think it might be handy to remember. :)

[Marnie]

@robz I know what you mean, hosting challenges isn't my favourite activity.

[Rob Z]

@granagringa Hi again Granagringa - I just realized that "Luddite indeed!" could be interpreted either way. I do hope you realized I was scoffing at the idea!! Cheers Rob

[Ulrika]

I have no idea what to do but would like to try this.... never done anything like this. I love your choice of picture!

[Rob Z]

@ulla Hi Ulrika - I just saw your posted edit on the thread. I think you turned it into a very arty interpretation. Wonderful for your first ever go at this challenge. It's a great challenge - so much fun to see what different people do with the starting image. I'm glad you liked the starter. If you feel like it have another go - multiple entries are always appreciated!! Cheers Rob
