Bench, south rim of the Grand Canyon.
I seem to have become infected with Jude’s enthusiasm for benches. On my recent holiday in Canada and the US, I found myself zeroing in on benches. “Ooh, that’s a cool bench!” I would think. Snap snap. For Jude’s June theme of “arty benches“, I’ve chosen a bench on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona. Above is the original; below are a selection of Photoshopped alternatives. Do you have a favourite?
#7 as an art image.

First choice is the first one but the cutout is quite intriguing.

With a view like that I might have not paid much attention to what the bench looked like and simply sat on it! I’m rather partial to #7

The view was astounding, no doubt. And the path was sometimes very close to the edge of a very long drop…

I don’t think you can go past your original shot, Karen, but I rather like the hue adjustment (I can never remember how to do that isolate colours trick) and the last one has a character all its own. 🙂

Love the sky and the find edges effect no. 7, seems to enhance the sky.

Me, too. I am constantly finding myself drawn to benches,(and not just when I’m tired, lol) with the result that I have stacks of photos of them in all shapes and sizes. I even wrote a poem about a bench. 🙂

A poem, eh? Did you do a post with photos and words?
