Here are two attempts I made at the photo challenge. Found it hard to come up with anything original. Hope you all think they fit the theme properly. The first one is obvious and kinda boring. The second is an interactive structure at a playground and I thought it would work well for the theme. We sure had a great turn out this month and thought you all were very creative. Soon we are into the next month. Wonder what it will be this time? :) Shannon

I would say they both are..... #2 gorgeous! Strong colors and lines very graphic....I love it.

I am, therefore I create.......

nhumber 2 is killer. Number 1 is abstract, but not killer. Numbah 2 is extremely killer. It's the shadows (or whatever they are...?) comin from the stones/bolts...

These are both very different but are both strong in imagery and color. I think they work well for the challenge. :-) (*

Thanx for the comments! BPM, those are shadows that I boosted up with the dodge tool, to pull out some details as the shadows were too dark for my liking :) Shannon

I like the 2nd Image...upside down...I like it even more...maybe because I Live at the Bottom of the World...but that's My Honest Opinion. Have a Great Day Shannon :)

I like them both but I also agree the second one is really stong. I like the happy person cutout. I dunno about the phallus facing the reverse direction but as a hole it a very fun image. I didn't notice the bolts until sone one pointed them out. Bsteph

Your observation Bsteph is too funny! Now I can't look at the thing without seeing the so called phallus poking up. Must have been a subconscious attraction...lol! ;) Shannon
