Well now you have to get back in the car and go back and find out.

Abandoned shoes, skeletons, not sure I want to know where you are going or for why.
But I really like what you are shooting. They are great

I was thinking the same thing.
Hmmmm Did the shoes belong to the owner of the skeleton ribs? A little big for human ribs. Just a weird thought.Don Kuykendall_RIP

Well he is from "Jerseyvania" That explains a lot.

Sometimes you just have to go with what the place gives you. Yesterday it was deer bones and shoes.

That is a great attitude. I think we can all learn from that. I look at many photographs here every day and there are a few people here that make me think about what I shoot. You make me think. Thanks

By the time I got out in the snow on Friday most of the cleaning up was done and I thought I missed out on my opportunity to shoot something for Matt's "Weather & Interaction" challenge. A deluge as I went out to run an errand over lunch today changed that. I have to pick one, and I still have a couple days. Not asking folks to vote, but if you have a favorite...

Number 5. You have to wonder what the adult is saying to the child.

Either 1 or 5.. are these HDR'd by any chance?

Not HDR, but I used Color Efex Pro 4's Detail Extractor filter in each of them. Initially I used it in the mother/sister & child photos because the seemed flat, they lacked details in the wet cloths and the rain itself was difficult to see. To the Detail Extractor I added their Color Contrast filter, which is a hue-based contrast control that can produce interesting results when you have two strong colors like you see here with the pinks and blue). I liked the look I got and used it on the rest of them for a consistent look, altering only the hue and amount of color contrast. With the top photo I really liked the subject but it didn't react to the same filter scheme, so I removed the color contrast and started filter browsing. I got a very interesting effect with an Infrared Filter in B&W mode. But when I added one more filter to the stack it added back the color, quite unexpectedly. Wasn't sure why, but liked the results.
The Detail Extractor gives a very HDR-structure quality to images, and looking back at some that I've used it on I've had to think twice about whether or not it was HDR or not. With moving subjects like this HDR is extremely difficult, though HDR Efex Pro does a pretty darn good job with ghost removal.

I just checked out Color Efex Pro 4 and that looks like an amazing piece of software. I will have to try it out.
I must admit that I don't always look at everyone's 365 photos. Some are just not that interesting to me. But yours are one of the ones I look forward to everyday.

Thanks so much, Don. I've heard that from a couple people here and it means an awful lot. As a person who has never studied the visual arts in any way - other than growing up with a younger brother who became a great photojournalist - my passion far outweighs my confidence as I discover myself in this art form. I've only really been at it for 2 years now, and I'm only just starting to see myself in my work and not me trying to replicate something else I've seen. Knowing that it's pleasing to others is a huge confidence boost, so thanks again for saying something.
