Did better on my second attempt at the DPChallenge. This time the topic was "Family". The instructions were "take a photograph that conveys the idea of family. Your photo need not contain a person."
This time I managed to get in the top 50% (barely - with a 53%). The last time was a 15% (or they rated 85% of the other photos better than yours). I feel pretty good about it.
I titled the picture "Fading Immortality" and it is below:
Some of you may recognize who this is -- the snapshot is an old picture of my grandparents (my dad's parents). The picture on the left is part of an encaustic collage I had made in a workshop I had attended. It is a collage technique using colored wax. The family tree on the left if from a copy of the Lolli family tree that my dad had done.
So far - I am having fun with this. I have another picture I submitted yesterday for this weeks challenge - looking forward to see how I come out. Looking at the other pictures - I don't think I will make the 50% goal.
