For this week’s entry, I used an existing image. It’s not my preference to do that because I enjoy seeking out a monochrome image before I take the picture, but I haven’t had the opportunity to do much of that this past week.
Please check out Leanne Cole’s blog later for the entire gallery.
When do I reblog? When something blows my mind……

KPN Tower ~ Working Dynamics I – Mabry Campbell
Final Image
The making of this image, KPN Tower ~ Working Dynamics I, was a huge process and it began in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Rotterdam is perhaps the most exciting city I have ever visited to view and photograph architecture. Everything there is amazing. Upon arrival I was immediately shown around the city by my good friend Armand Dijcks. Armand is a local and knows his city very well.

The textures and patterns were really beautiful also, so I thought I’d take one of the images and use it for these week’s challenge. I wish I could tell you what the name of this plant is, but unfortunately I didn’t have a map with me. They did offer a map when I got there, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to read it without my glasses and that becomes a pain when taking pictures…on/off, on/off…no thanks, lol.
This plant did catch my eye because of the strong patterns and the little “hair-like” things that were all over it. It was converted primarily with an infrared filter via Nik Color Efex and then I ran it through Nik SEP2. It was okay in green and white, the original colors, but I liked it a lot better after the conversion.
You can see the entire challenge later today on Leanne Cole’s Blog. Please do check it out as there are so many talented photographers there!
