Was bored today and even with the cloudy conditions just had to get outside for a bit - the housework can wait :)

These are screen captures (original files are huge) and each has had a single effect added in Smart Photo Editor. Why? Lack of contrast, grey skies and really, really bland photos as a result.

Comments welcome as always.

Tnx.

These are all nice colorful shots but I am really drawn to number 3. Everything about it is very pleasing. Hard to explain but very appealing.

Thank you so much! Just attended a painting birthday party for my oldest granddaughter and I needed your reassurance ... have never worked in acrylic paint before and it really shows in my 'painting' :lol:

Thanks! It was drab and boring that day ... working on the photos was a welcome relief.

Appreciate your comments!
