Another Unlikely Photograph

May 3, 2018May 4, 2018Chris and Carol 2 Comments

We felt compelled to submit another image for consideration for this week’s photo challenge – Unlikely

Sometimes the most “unlikely” locations provide the best opportunities for a great photograph.

Silhouettes, shadows, and a bit of mystery.

The light was perfect for only a brief moment – the sun reflected off a car’s windshield in just the right way to illuminate the ceiling of the Outback restaurant we were dining at. I grabbed my phone and was lucky to capture this wonderful image.

Another version below but with an extreme crop and no color shift.

The original uncropped version below.

You can see why this original view inspired me to take the image in the first place. I could see the final, cropped version in my head (in monotone too).

My favorite image is the top one. I think I have the crop and tone just right. What do you think? Which is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

WPC: Unlikely

This week’s assignment – Unlikely

It’s “unlikely” that these two people are related but you wouldn’t know it if you listened to the one on the right!

Margaret Hamilton (left) was an acclaimed actress and is best known for her wonderful (and super scary!) portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West – A heartless person consumed by hate, greed, and self-promotion. Dana Loesch (right) is kinda an actress too and is best known for her mean and wicked comments about the students from MSD High School in Florida. One is a fake witch and the other… well.

We support Ms. Loesch’s right to voice her opinions concerning gun control and gun ownership. We do not agree however with anything she’s EVER said about private ownership of assault weapons as it is tainted by the big bucks she receives from her employer – the NRA. To watch her “perform” is truly scary!

Thanks for stopping by!

By the way, besides both being prolific liars they’re also puppets.
