This is the result of lack of inspiration. I am mortified by my Flora score and it has sucked all the fun out of taking photos - at least for the moment.
So I took this one day before yesterday (yesterday I took NONE), and I've processed it beyond recognition. So there.
This was taken out of the car. The sun was setting and I saw a good scene. Before I could whip out my camera and get it fired up, a car drove up beside me. He actually saw that I was trying to take a photo, so he hung back - otherwise I would have just taken a picture of him. Anyway - before I could zoom in on what I wanted, the light changed and away I drove.
So, I got a snap shot of the car dealership - hahaha!
I took the window portion and layered it over the sky area of the original photo. After using a lot of Lucis Exposure, you could actually see this amazingly retro chandelier they have at the Cadillac place. I wanted to incorporate it somehow, as well as the cool palm reflections.
Ooooooh, I like this alot! I like all the colors and the ghostly transparent parts. It makes it look abstract and magical!
I'm so sorry about your flora score (hug). . .sometimes. . .side challenges are much better for our self-esteems aren't they :) The voters. . .I don't get them sometimes!
I like the busyness in this shot! Sometimes busy is good because it keeps your eye moving around the image. Cool reflections, and really nice job with the layers. Hey, and don't let challenge results get you down. More often than not, I see some real gems buried way down near the bottom of the pack. Keep shootin what makes you happy. :)
