    Taking photos and editing brings forth our creative juices. I took about 3 hours to create this one. Digital Darkroom is a favorite catagory for me. How about you?

This image has inspired me to go play in DDR a little today. It's the best place to relax and cook up something fun!

I love the quote to go with this. It's perfect. (And I recognize the filter! :))))) !!!)

Wow Nancy, this looks absolutely fabulous! It's like it's backed on a wooden chopping board. I'm not really that great with DD work, I always admire other people's stuff, but can't get it together for me. I also think you need a good imagination, and lots of wonderful time to play with DD. Debbie

OUT-BLOODY-STANDING! You obviously put a lot of thought into this one, and what you saw in your mind definately came to fruition! Fantastic layering, unique PoV, great framing and comp, coupled with the perfect colors, sat, and texture all make this one a winner!
