Photo Play

I love using the all the photo tools:  I crop, up the contrast, up the color, sharpen and whatever else that is available.   On my trip to Florida I had a few photos that I felt the subject was not as important as the textures, the colors, the contrasts or the layered forms---just something that I saw as artistic.  The following photos all had some work except maybe three that I left untouched. Sometimes when I messed with the tools the subject became clearer, like the one of the ant lion depressions in the sandy soil.  I also like taking pictures of artwork.
