Does this look familiar. I actually took it last May and posted it for POTD. Well, Mpix is having a sale on 8x10s this weekend so I thought it might be a good time to start an etsy shop. I looked through all my POTD and marked the opens I thought would work and could be cropped to 8x10. I was happy with most but the editing on this one looked too washed out.



No, I don't remember what I did to it. I can guess that I converted to B&W, then reduced the opacity to bring back some of the color. I took this edited version, and boosted it a bit.




I love that Lightroom saves my images in a way that I can go back to the original if I want. And I love that I learn more and my style continues to grow and change, hopefully for the better.

what in the sand hill?

There was a sand hill crane walking around the backyard. He just wandered to and fro just looking. He didn't like me getting too close but didn't fly away either. It's unusual to see them alone, they are usually in pairs or groups.

Thank you for all the great comments this past week. It's been fun & challenging, mostly fun. I can't imagine a year long of hearts but I do have other ideas.
