Continuing with my 2014 Photo Challenge Submission posts. I began participating in the Photo Challenges in Week 8 of 2014. After I posted Week 8, I went back a week and posted the Week 7 challenge as well and I have posted a photo every week since.
I am sharing my final submitted photos by challenge category: Composition, Landscape, Nature & Wildlife, Still Life, and Special Effects & Techniques. Learn more about the challenge here: www.PhotoChallenge.org
This has been and continues to be a wonderful photographic journey for me!
Here are my Special Effects & Technical submissions for the 2014 Photo Challenge.

Photo Challenge, Week 14: Rule of Thirds: Circle in the Squares Statue of Christopher Columbus in Columbus Circle, NYC. I had planned on using a photo from another setting all week, but shot this today (smartphone) while walking around and couldn’t pass up sharing the grid shot for this challenge. Used Microsoft ICE to composite several photos. No other treatments.

Photo Challenge Week 21: Composition – Symmetry “Red Rock Lobby Lounge” I’ve spent most of the week in the desert admiring mountains. There’s not much symmetry in mountains, however I did manage to notice symmetry in art, architecture and design. This space, I kept coming back to – the chandeliers were stunning (only the tips are showing here). I hope it works for the symmetry challenge. Sony A33, f3.5, 1/30sec, ISO 1000, 18mm
