Surprises

I shoot so many photographs these days that I will never use. Sometimes I have to bite the bullet, go
through the directories of photographs and cull ones that aren't quite good enough.
I was about to hit delete on this picture because the light was all wrong, which washed out the colors.
I'd taken a photograph from this very angle when we'd had a rare three-inch snow, which made a very interesting picture, but this one with the funky light seemed to be a likely candidate to trash.
Just before I hit the delete key, I thought.....why not run it through a couple Photoshop filters to see if it could be salvaged.
It turned out better than I had imagined. Don't you just love surprises.

  6. Your photos always look like paintings. Maybe there's a secret desire to paint in there somewhere. I bet you'd be great at details.

  7. Cool photo. I think I enjoy the taking of the picture more than looking back at mine. I usually just delete my pictures after I've looked at them or put them on my blog.
