Cee has presented us with a different sort of Fun Foto Challenge this week, one where we’re to use the elements from a selected photo (shown HERE). Those elements, one or more of our choosing, include:

  • Rain / Water
  • Reflection
  • Industrial
  • Lines & Shapes
  • Rule of Thirds
  • Signs
  • Colors:  Red, Gray, Green
  • Containers or Trash Cans
  • Window

Certainly this image contains windows, some crudely constructed, and there are several containers – the hollowed out mobile unit in the foreground being a rather large one at that! – and, of course, the requisite trash can. We certainly have a variety of lines and shapes in the scene and, stretching my imagination a bit, I am easily able to pick out the gray and the green while the bus could be described as an orange-ish or fiery red!

This challenge also dovetails nicely with the photo I submitted for Cee’s B&W photo challenge that I called Dilapidation. It’s the black and white shot I took from the same perspective and it is difficult for me to decide which photograph I like best. (Your preference?)

Cee: We love your challenges and the opportunity to ‘strut our stuff’ as well as providing us with ready-made connections to other bloggers and photo enthusiasts. I’m constantly blown away by the talent, creativity and imagination of so many new friends!

Love this!!

I love your pictures because I love seeing what you’re wearing – the outfits you build give me ideas about how to mix it up with my own wardrobe, and seeing you work your shit gives me courage to try clothing that I otherwise might have thought was too outlandish or revealing.

I love seeing how you do your hair and makeup. You look like a hot babe and I wish you would make YouTube tutorials explaining how you get your eyeliner just so. I want you to post pictures every time you change your…
