Harold, I’m pretty sure that Tofurky would be his choice too. He is a studly looking fellow. Here in the wilds of CA we had wild turkeys try to steal our domestic birds. They are rascals………..kind of a Errol Flynn type.
Beautiful picture!

My favorite use for HDR is to create B&W conversions.

Okay, Jack and Sally together you are close enough to declare you both the winners (and the “contest” closed). I’ll see that you each get a copy of Creative Black & White.

There’s am apparently disembodied finger in the largest waterdrop on the right of the image. If you look, you can make out the nail. The finger looks like it is bisected by a blade of grass and is contiguous to a purple flower petal. It belongs to my wife Phyllis, who was holding a blossom in place for me to get added color in the image.

Okay, one more try, after reading the plot of Blue Velvet: A human ear in the grass of Dorothy’s husband, Dorothy being the character in the movie. As D”orothy’s husband” is a fictional character and this is a real photograph, the person would be someone’s spouse. As you are male, the photographer must have been a female,and the ear being her husband’s But, as the photo is attributed to you, the sexes must be reverse and the ear must belong to your wife, whose name I forget.

As to the location in the photo, I can imagine a blurred ear int the center of the photograph, almost top to bottom. If it was my sense of humor. “wholesome” would refer to the “whole” of the picture.

Elementry, Dr. Watson,

Regards,

Jack

OK, darn it all. Is it a finger? If it were me it would be a finger stuck in front of the lens just where it shouldn’t be. I know, no second guesses……….but I’m dying to know. A finger checking out the flower petal?
I just received the Photoshop Darkroom today. I can’t wait to get into it.

Hi Jack -

Well, I agree it should be Katie Rose, what a great thing to say, but it isn’t.

Good job noting the image has been rotated, actually horizontally flipped.

Very best wishes, Harold

And Katie’s “pink” shirt is blurred out at the right side. It appears to me that the picture has bee rotated, and the grasses are upright.

I would think it was your favorite subject, Katie Rose, in the large drop at the distal end and between the two blades. Katie’s face is bifurcated by the near blade.

And if it isn’t Katie, it should be.

Ron is not even close Sally, it’s not me, or my bare foot, but you are a little bit warm! Best to all — Harold
