| 'Angel with Wings' The effects in this image were largely created in a studio, but Photoshop played its part as well... |
 |
| 'Dad's Hands' This was a classic activity of my dad's, before his stroke... |
 |
| 'Light Through Veins' Taken at the University of Washington's Botany Greenhouse... |
 |
| 'Solitude Sunset Waters II' This sunset was extraordinary. I was especially interested in the way Puget Sound looked blue-purple, but the swirl of water on the beach picked up the peach tones of the sky... |
 |
| 'White Koi I' I have come to have a fascination with Koi. They absolutely blaze with color, as a rule, yet this one was the most lovely, shimmery white. |
It was tough to choose just 5 photos for submission. Here were my secondary choices, which I reluctantly eliminated:
 |
| 'Duck with Swirls' It really gave me a pang to leave this guy behind. I love the gold swirls, which are actually the reflections of gold autumnal leaves... |
 |
| 'Lifeblood III' Another shot from the UW Botany Greenhouse, same kind of plant. Same pang in leaving it behind. I love water and water droplets, and the combination of that with the delicate white hairs and crimson veins make this shot one of my favorites... |
 |
| 'Seeking Food II' Another fond shot of Koi fish. This really shows their bright, blazing colors. Lusty appetites. I thought they were going to eat my camera... |
 |
| 'Semicircles' This is a quieter, more meditative shot. I like the texture of the waves coming in, in semicircles, balanced against the semicircle of the stones on the beach... |
 |
| 'Sunset with Sentinels' Boy oh boy was it tough to eliminate this one. I did not think I could go with two different sunset shots, and so, ultimately, I loved the other one better. Barely. |
Which of these are your favorite shots? Would you have made the choices I made? Photo editing is so very subjective. One thing is clear though, I have a water theme running strongly throughout the collection!
Thanks for looking!
Blessings,
Linda
