Got plenty of patches. The hard part was coming up with a way that would make them "interesting". Don't think I've come close to succeeding.

Narrow dof. :scratch

Nope. Then I tried engaging warp drive. :wink

Nope. Then I tried putting eye-liner and lipstick on a pig. :huh

Nope. Oh well, I have a one or two things I can try this weekend if I have time. Or, I might just enter one of these to scare the judges. :D

Thanks for taking a peek at my rejects. Hopefully I can come up with something else.
:clap

    wrap that quilt around a beautiful woman...

    it's even better than a baby/puppy shot

    great idea! Laughing.gif
    But if you don't find the woman - I do like #1, I like the slight blur - # 2 is a bit too much IMO.

    Cool quilt shots.

    I shot a patchwork quilt shot yesterday - with an Amish buggy passing by in the backround.

    But my main pc died yesterday night - haven'y had the chance to do post processing yet. It's still on the card.

    I thnk my pc is possessed with some kind of 0606060 june 6th demon. Actually Dell is overnighting me a new HD. Glad I did a back up last week.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    deeya: Have a few more ideas to work with the patchwork quilts if I don't have the opportunity to head out on the plains this weekend to try something else. Good luck with yours.

    twinbnj: I might have to fall back with #1 if nothing else comes together. And yes, #2 is a bit "out there" for the subject matter. Thanks.

    wholenewlight: No fair. We don't have any Amish buggy's here in the Denver burbs. Love your part of the country. Would love to see that shot if you get your computer thing resolved. That really suxs. At least you did a backup. I finally got smart years ago after my 3rd or 4th computer fried to do regular backups.
