Topaz adjust? What is that...? I see you are playing around with out and indoors...It's interesting because as in this picture it creates two separate moods... I'll keep an eye out for that... : )

I'm not sure what I would have given this, had I voted in the challenge, but I'm guessing at least a 6. I love the capture and blend of colors. And I have to say, that my fave part is the leaf that is in focus.

The busyness makes this one, that and the mannequins that seem to be almost human-like.

Wonderful little set of photos Deb! I'm glad I read your comments here... I was wondering how you managed to process these to get the lighting to look so different when it looked like the same scene. Thanks for sharing! :)

I like the focus, but it would be better if more of that one apple with the leaves was in focus

Hello Deb, I know this took me a while but I've been quite busy.

This was one of my highest votes and I picked it to be in the top ten easily. I really love the composition and your choice to use B&W with the blue overtones, it lends a calming quality to your photograph. I think that your subject choice for this shot was smack on, I don't think a teenager, family, a woman, or even a younger man would have had the same impact as this older gentleman. One is left wondering what he could be thinking and how his lifes journey brought him to that spot at that time in his life. The Lighting and focus are fantastic not to mention your title fits to perfection. Congratulations on another top ten finish and I hope your able to run into this gentleman again and offer him a print I think he would be thrilled with it.

All the best to you and yours Deb.

MAX!
