Earlier in the year I noticed a white painted wall along a village green. It was planted with roses. I was thinking that I would love to see the wall ‘in bloom’. At one end there was a tree arching over the wall making a natural frame, now I can never resist photographing a natural frame, like the magpie I am I knew that this picture ‘would come in useful’ one day.
Bonnies optional challenge this week is “self portrait’
There is not much digital fiddling going on with these pictures, I am getting braver at selfies.
I hope you like the results of my quest for a self portrait to hang in the Pixel Dust Photo Digital Art gallery.
Thank you Bonnie for once again inspiring me to try something new.
Miriam – this is so cool – you are a PS genius!
what a great idea. I’m a magpie too – think I’ll have to start collecting images of blank walls!
Like your pieces and most of nr 3.
Have a relaxing weekend
This is brilliant, I love the second one, brilliant editing and such a cool idea

OMG! How did you do that? I know you probably use PE. I haven’t tackled that yet, but you just might have inspired me to do so!
Miriam, these are spectacular. I love the ‘billboard’ feel in the woods! Fabulous.
Miriam, you are so insightful and clever. You did wonderful things with this prompt … I love it.

Miria, this is genius!
Love it!
Fab-U-lously creative, Miriam. Love them! Wish someone could get that file and really put it on that wall, as a surprise for you!
(You could actually use these images, with extra touches, for next week’s challenge. Well … that’s if you haven’t already come up with other great ideas, which I’m sure you have.)
Thanks for sharing the tip about looking for frames in our environment!
I actually said “Oh, wow!” to myself when I scrolled down and saw these..I think they are real stand out portraits, every last one of them!
Wow – those look fantastic!
Wow – love them all, 2nd my fav. I’m going to keep an eye out for framed walls. And yes magpie is a perfect description of my photo collection
what a wonderful spread of Miriam!!! you are clever and I love what you’ve done with yourself here.

YOU WIN……this is OUTSTANDING and just plain BRILLIANT!
Terrific idea….your own billboard!
I like the idea of putting a photo on the wall! Very creative.
Marvelous! Great job, specially the last one!
How cool, clever and creative. Not to mention plain fun!
Love these.
That’s so cool.

These are great – so creative!
fabulous!
Your “magpie ways” certainly paid off. What an excellent frame/backdrop you provided for a fun self-portrait. It’s like having your own personal billboard. The glimpse of your face behind the camera is engaging…as are the nicely painted fingernails. I like how you toyed with different versions. I think the second is my favourite because of the strong lines and contrasts.
