One photo a day challenge(172/365) all year long

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

Today i went out for a walk to get pictures for the blog today. I was especially inspired to try and recreate otage's picture of a pink flower with a grayish bokeh background. I have to day it is a work in progress for me and i think i managed to only do the opposite as i highlighted the surroundings instead of the plant itself. Here's my shot

So this is still a work in progress. i know i highlighted the wrong area.

I also got to take some pictures for @papa-pepper's combination photography contest. Here is one of my pictures.
I took the picture of a crow in mid air.

I like the colourful combination of that tree

Thank you turpsy. Inspired by otage.

Great photo i so like to see clean parks

You have achieved friend, very good photo of the crow in mid-flight and the best is the environment, that place is excellent for photos.

I agree it’s beautiful area. Families always come and hang around here . I just jog around.

You captured an excellent moment when the bird took off. It's just a bit far.

It is far. I couldn’t get too close, the animals are very aware of people and each time I tried to come close they would hide... I don’t know how people do it.

Good work you are half way there!

Thank you. I think I finally did figured it out.

Please @leggy23 , what effect does this bokeh background actualy add to images. I wish you could post the original image and the edited one for easy comparism.

It’s a soft dreamy background look sort of

Hmm... dreamy indeed.

Hope to see more of this effect on your pictures.
Thank you for the feedback and wishing you a good morning form Nigeria.

Nice Picture leggy23 ! :D
