Coming To Town ...

Coming To Town ...
For this week's Sunday Challenge, which was a sort of two for one type deal.

The subject had to be anything new but then you also had to make it into Art!

You were also supposed to post it on Sunday, but as I kind of lost track of which day of the week it was I'm a wee bit late and I've also had to dip into the archives.

Not too far back though as this was a shot I took with the Christmas challenge in mind. It's actually a Santa statue we bought earlier this month. It stands about 18 inches high and I took this shot of it in front of our Christmas tree so as to get some festive type bokeh.

Then followed much processing to get the end result you see here ... hopefully it'll keep the Wicked Witch of the North happy!

Probably best viewed on black if you have the time to spare!

Well done Paul! Love it! It has been raining nos-stop for three days here now and I'm thinking about getting the kayak down and taking a paddle around town! :-)

Yes, there are parts of Yorkshire that a kayak would come in very handy right now ... such crazy weather and all over the world too! :(

Anyway, glad you like this one Norm! :)

Good one although your Santa is not going to appear now until,next year ? Hope all well with you and hope you are dry. We are off to York for a wedding New Year's Eve so hoping it is not flooded. Ha a good one .

autofantasia club has replied to Jan
He's still on show Jan ... we don't normally take our decorations down until after New Year! :)

Good luck with the wedding BTW, there's still much of York flooded and more heavy rain is forecast over the next couple of days! :(

The angle really works for this photo. Well done!

autofantasia club has replied to Esther club
More through necessity than creativity Esther as our tree isn't that wide and I was trying to get maximum bokeh hence the quirky angle. Glad you like it though! :)

The Wicked Witch of the North is always happy! (I followed you right in the open door too! I barely made it!)

I just love this, I was figrin' this was something you shot at the Santa Clause parade..like a huge statue not an ornament!

autofantasia club has replied to Shuttering Yukon
It's a big ornament though, it's about 18 inches high! ;)

Anyway, glad you like it and delighted to keep the door open for you Madam! :)
