Someone's got to be I suppose...

I know - it actually felt like I was confessing a dirty secret when I said I have a friend who supports Everton.

spidey chess!! those also look like moon phases diagram. is it the sun? colors and reflections are cool!

hey it's suggestion day

I just gave it a curve in photoshop

looks strange

Those 'moon phases' are actually just the light bulbs inside the building.
I like the curved version - it looks like you could slide down it.
 
Crataegus monogyna. :) :) :) Hawthorn


Ish to the rescue. That makes sense as I have a Hawthorn tree in that spot recovering from an over zealous neighbour who mistakenly chopped it down when having his new fence installed. He kindly replaced it with a plum tree when I pointed out that I wasn't happy about it.

Looks like a slow painful recovery. :)
 
Don't know what it was like before PP, but as it stands now there's a nice spread of light and shade, with strong colours - really nice photo!

Thanks

I like it.

Thanks again

I like the contrast and the shade of blue in the sky.

Basically the sky was pretty blue already. I just added a graduated filter in LR after watching a video. Something I haven't used before.
 
Derelict Cottage

Along the beach in Crystal Cove, near Newport Beach are a bunch of decrepit cottages. Some of them have been restored and are rented out for vacationers. Some are still awaiting restoration.
The sky wasn't particularly friendly when I took this shot. I'll have to go back for better lighting. Salvaged as best as I could in PP.

Very nice. I might have gone B&W though. Your photography travels are far wider than mine.

challenge accepted :D

problem is I've traveled quite a bit, but only in my past few trips did I start taking photography seriously and have a decent camera with me.

here's to our future trips
