This is a solar light near our front walk,
now uncovered as the snow has partially melted.

Enhanced with "solarize" 

Image
Then saturated the color

And then moved the hue to maximum

Reflections - Streaks of light

Image

I noticed these light streaks on Marianne's new red crock pot and liked the reflections. The lighting is from the under counter lights.

Inside this bubble is where the driver of the combine sits with a grand view of the field ahead. That's Marianne waving while I am behind her with the camera. This one taken at the Frederick Fair.

More fun with PhotoShop

Image
I spotted this single leaf on the walkway about 7:30 AM on June 29 and thought the water drops made an interesting image. The clouds made for soft light. About 30 minutes later the sun broke through and I got the image below with stronger shadows. I decided to experiment by making the same enhancements to both images.
 
Image

Image
 First I adjusted color saturation to +80.

Image

Image
 Then I adjusted color hue to +70.
There is a lot of color hidden in what original appears to be mostly gray.

This time of year the late afternoon sun can reflect off the windshield of our van and light up the mirror in the foyer which then reflects the light on to a wall in the living room.
