January 30 x 30 Challenge # 14 Silhouettes

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 14 Silhouettes

A very underexposed photo showed the bathers in silhouette with pools in the background. Tried to get the effect of steam that was coming from the pools.. I liked the effect of B&W in the foreground with a little color in the background...

January 30 x 30 Challenge # 13 Foliage

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 13 Foliage

There are lots of potted plants with foliage around the spa.  I am still not used to taking pictures with my smartphone and found this reference that I didn't know I took.  Liked the patterns the foliage made and the hidden figure to the right.

20 x 20 cm Heavy brown paper neocolor wax pastels. Used medium and a wash pencil.

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 12  Pedicure

Have you ever had a "fish pedicure"?  Well here is your chance!!! I have never tried it.  It certainly looks weird.  Well maybe someday I will give it a try...  The photos I took were really dark and blurry so Photoshop and imagination to the rescue..
