We haven't done a crop challenge in quite a while but I thought this photo offered many opportunities for interesting crops (and of course other refinements). Image at Pixentral for full size and SOOC.

What a fun surprise, Tennie ! Thanks for starting this.
I sure have missed the crop challenge, as well as the SYI challenge.

Oh i thank you to. I was learning to make my own actions (which i forgot most of it.) I make a cartoon and a tilt action thought this would be a great photo for it. Had fun.

Judy, your action created super art !

I have some soap making going on. It will be posted as soon as it is finished,

Betty thank you i am looking forward to seeing your creation.

Judy, that's a neat action! Looks great.

Combined the sign crop with the wake of the boat we were on yesterday. It created 'too many sudsy bubbles'.

We've been 'on the go' a lot lately. Yesterday we were at the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, took a boat tour and saw osprey, dolphins, manatees, pelicans etc. Del got brave and had octopus for lunch. I chickened out...with chicken.

Temps are moderate and we're taking advantage, but I'm ending up with hundreds of photos and not much time to work on them. The one full day I have at home (today) I use to clean and bake my gluten free breads, etc.

Thanks for the photo Tennie. I know how you feel about having too many images and not enough time to process them.

Judy, neat action!

Good crop with the signs, Courtney.

Seemed to get dark so I turned the light on.

Thank you all. I love the neat crops you all have done. I am so glad to see this thread. Thanks Tennie. Sounds like you are having so much fun. I love seeing you photos. Far more interesting than what i get to see.
For those that would like my little actions PM me. i can not guarantee that they will work for you though. I will probably not get to send you a link until next week when i am off.
