Marion, how nostalgic it must be for you to look at this. I'm amazed at how much family history has evolved in this side challenge of images. It's like a tribute to our past, present and future. This is simply wonderful from the detail in the old doors to the amazing light seeping thru the cracks and openings, as if something bright and cheerful wants to flood the interior of this old shed. At least you have these memories to look back on.

Kind of primitive with an interesting sense of symmetrical design. Three trees = Feng Shui. I really like that wonderful bluish tint that comes out of the branches! Curious to see what you do next ;-)

Locked up in chains

Good title, made me smile. You off-centered it which is visually correct with the opposing lines. Great detail in the chains! I'm wondering if that's to keep someone out or someone from coming in. Hmm.. who lurks behind the chained doors? Kind of an eerie scenario ;-)

Now, this looks more like something eerie, only I can't quite tell what it is. I think it needs maybe one tiny identifying detail to make it more interesting. Otherwise, it's a good combination of shapes and graduation of tones.

Poltergeist

Soon as I saw the title I had to chuckle, even before the image loaded. Actually, she's way too pretty to be a poltergeist. I would have probably called this 'sympathetic stare'. It's adorable!

Roz, this is beautifully done. I think the way her face fades in and out of the darkness is supurb. It's almost as if she is watching over you. You handled this very very well. The balancing whites against the deep dark hues and the gentle script at the bottom are all tributes to her memory.

Tegan is quite lovely, I think the techniques you used for this worked extremely well. It's a masterpiece.

I wish DPC would get with the program and incorporate some challenges that encourage these and other 'unconventional' editing techniques. It's so much more interesting working outside the box and exercising our creative license in unique and different ways!

Blurry walk

The pidgeons and umbrella actually do make this work! Without them, it's just a guy walking.. which isn't all that bad.. but the extras definitely add something to the mix, beings the blur points to those elements. I can't look at this too long, it kind of makes me dizzy. But it has a dreamlike feel to it.. like something out of a Bergman film!!!

The glow you achieved here works perfectly for these candles. I prefer vanilla berry! ;-)

Clowning BLUR I

Eyes are the widows to the soul and his are definitely disturbed. The blur works very well for this.. clouds the facial features and enhances the sadness in the face. Fill frame close crop works well too!
