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

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.
