No matter how you spell it COLORS make the world a better place to look at.
This photo is grainy and the highlights are blown out but the brightly colored bowling balls were eye catching and the only camera on hand was an iPod Touch, and as someone recently commented any camera is better than no camera when something interesting pops up. With some effort an image that could have been deleted looks a little more interesting.
My workflow was inspired from a tutorial on Photoradar.com – Create 3 D effects.

Without the holes, you could convince people that they were JawBreakers.

As they say Patty, “the best camera is the one we have on us at the time”. I like the way you have processed it so that some of the balls overlap the edges. Well done, good job.

a camera is a camera no matter how small… I have a file of phone photos and love the way they look – well done in capturing these colours and working the image with a frame.

Oh Patty, this is wonderful, I agree totally, no camera no proof, I always carry my little pocket for the quick shots. Nice job on the bowling balls, like the first comment, if they had no holes, my little grandson was think they were gum. Have a great week.

Not every photo has to be perfect especially to be able to recall the memories that went with it. I finally decided that I use alot of my photos as a sort of life diary or journal (which I’ve never been able to reliably keep) since I take some sort of photo almost every day. Think about it…a diary or journal often has scratch outs or mis-spelling…and a photo has far more detail than you are able to write about. Processing innovations now and in the future will allow us to perfect most images if we have the desire/time to do so. Best to you…I’ve sort fallen behind in commenting/posting but hope to get my energy back now that spring is in sight!!

Such a truism KarenAnn – journaling with pictures helps the memory to be so much more vivid.
