The foreground is what attracts the eye in this photo of the lake at our campground in Illinois this morning. I cropped out a distracting branch and added a bit more contrast using PhotoForge.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Wow, spectacular!!!!
