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? #1463085

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!

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.
