Challenge: What Do You See When You Close Your Eyes? (Extended Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Date: Jul 7, 2020
Date Uploaded: Jul 7, 2020

 Friend was kind enough to lie in bed and close her eyes.
I knew she'd dream of something... but I had no ideas at the time and she was leaving.

So, I shot flowers.

I hope this fits the challenge.


Post: I never went below a 7 score until the last night.

I was shocked at the fall.


So... I’m thrilled with my finish!!

Thanks bunches!!

P.S. I think this image has the most separate shots of any image I've ever submitted.

Fantastic, Lydia! Love the lighting and the rich colors in this.
Side note: I don't know what I'm doing wrong, every time I ask a woman to come over and lie in bed while I take photos of her, I get a black eye or an ensuing Police chase.

You see yourself? I don't understand the concept of this image or how it fits with what you would see when you close your eyes. ??? It's fun, but very bright!
