No prescribed subject, just take it or make it square (crop ratio of 1:1) and post it here.
Archival images can be included.

Would have loved to have the ability to do something like this for the Postcard challenge, but alas...the trip didn't coincide. LOL |

Cold or Warm? I caught the evening light just catching the head of this Echinacea plant, which had mostly survived the frost. I had fun trying different processing:

Definitely like the warm better. The cool background is fun, but with the flower still being yellowish, it's more dissonant. Dissonance is fun, but with the flower being so high in the frame, it feels like too much disconnect between subject and background

I think the "missing" letter adds to the quirkiness -- I think every other picture of this place highlights the guys throwing fish ... :-)
FWIW most postcards aren't square anyway. |

I rather prefer this version because of the increased focus on the subject and the contrasting tips, though I can't remember the name for that hair-style/dye-job ... maybe "frosted"? |

Great juxtaposition of the figures, though had you been a few feet to the left you might have been able to eliminate the fourth statue and it would be even more perfect. You might try cloning it out or otherwise de-emphasizing it ...
Note: I'm putting the comment both here (easier for us to see) and on the photo itself (for anyone else who ends up looking at it). OK? |

As "promised" here are a couple of actual album covers ... and one I just found that isn't (yet, at least).
