On the rare fifth Monday, our challenge is to play with editing a photo that fits one of the Challenger’s Choice categories from week 5. I had fun with another food photo, this time of a layer of oil suspended atop other wet ingredients, turning it into an abstract by the use of editing. The Picasa 3 edits I used are listed under the edited photo.
original
soft focus, HDR-ish,crop, sharpen, vignette, tuning, boost
This, that and the other thing 
Beautiful, Janet. The image of water looks more obvious after editing..
I love the way the oil droplets hang there and they looked even more beautiful after editing. Glad you enjoyed it.

Janet, that second image stole my attention. I also enjoy playing with oil and water. Will have to try other liquids too. You’re experimentation is certainly successful. Energy is evident and the abstraction is inviting. Happy Photo Challenge.
When our girls were little, they would make “concoctions” when at my m-i-l’s house. Those would have been something to photograph, as they used all sorts of weird kitchen & cooking items!

Lovely!
Thanks, Lisa.

Whoa! Great edits, and creativity in making these photos in the first place. I have to go with the second shot too, for its closeness to show us the detail up close.
I do enjoy taking photos of “works in progress” in the kitchen. It’s amazing how cool some of the processes look up close.

This is so gorgeous. I love the colours and it looks like molten gold with your edited image.
Thanks so much, Raewyn. Were that it were actually molten gold! But I did like the way it turned out.

That is very cool subject matter and captures the light exquisite.
Thanks so much and thanks for stopping in and commenting. It’s always appreciated.

Janet, you’re very welcome. It’s really well done. Well deserved.
Very cool effect – I was not able to figure out what you had taken the picture of before reading the text:)
Sneaky of me, wasn’t it? 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it.
