Soft Focus
The intent of this challenge was to encourage us to soften focus. I enjoyed playing around with the in-the-dark image of these two white burros, but the results are perhaps too bizarre.

Those burros are enchanting. LOVE the color. Now hold that thought. First I responded to the lacework pattern of softened black birds and limbs. THEN when I saw the burros, immediately my inner artist went to pattern, arranging and/or scattering multi colored burros fit in around each other any which way, sometimes with images flipped, And then, with those little colored splotch/dots I filled in empty spaces for balance or just a color surprise. Inspiring. Thanks! If it were not for the dreaded learning curve, I would photo-shop it, it is so compelling in my mind. Guess I’ll just enjoy the thought.

Yes… I know just what you mean. I did what I could most easily do in my Mac photo editing program but if I tried Photoshop, I would vanish into it and never return!!!

All the experimenting you are doing will eventually teach you more than you imagine. It’s a good way to learn your tools.

I just bought a waterproof camera for the beach. Every time I go, I end up ruining a camera–Either I dip it in seawater trying to get a closeup of a jellyfish or get sand in the lens closings or the sea air just clunks up the lens closure. So..I got a waterproof one!!!
