Oh what a neat way to do a self-portrait. I would never have guessed you did this at night. What a creative idea! I'm surprised this did not score highter.

i do like the textures - very cool. I think i'd like to see this with the white flowers on the left cropped out.

This does look like a painting. The clouds are beautiful and the birds add an interesting element to the pic.

Watching the Sun Rise

I like this better than the original. The orange tones create an interesting mood. That plus the crop really bring out the hiding sun. Gorgeous!

Love the sky and the contrasty tone of the pic. Love that the bridge sitting in the middle of this gorgeous setting. Can't decide on the blue tone tho. Still think I'd like to see it in black and white.

deb - go back to the original thread - where people were signing up to do this. I had asked what processes people follow to convert to black and white and I got some great ideas there. I have since noticed a difference in my black and white pics. I have taken plenty of pics with more gray tones and I am using this challenge to move past that.

This is a great idea for a shot. The tree branches are a distraction for me and I don't know if this would have been possible, but get down closer to the ground and try taking the pic that way. Or get closer and change the focus. Speaking of focus, this looks great!
