I was at my sister-in-law's place over the holidays, and couldn't resist taking a few photographs. (She looks at my work every day, and will probably be surprised to see this! * waves * Hi Cindy! While you were busy with the cookies, I was wandering around taking pictures again!) :) .......... I posted a black and white version in the January Forum Challenge. You can see it here if you're interested. For those of you who are unclear, there is a difference between a contest and a challenge. There are no prizes or accolades connected with a challenge, unless somebody happens to say something nice about your image. It's just a topic for exploration, more like "this is a cool thing - try it and see if you can make it work!" Challenge topics are a fun way to increase your skill and try something new. There's no pressure in a challenge. So this image (in the black and white version) won't be up for a vote. It won't "do well" or be better or worse than anything else in the challenge. It's all just for fun. If you were feeling intimidated by the idea of a challenge, don't be. It's not a contest, and you might learn something new and improve your work! :) ..........
