I hope everyone has had a relaxing holiday break and is ready to start being creative again - orange creative, of course! The subject of my Mandarin Orange Monday images today is a pretty ordinary back fence overrun with some scraggly plants and weeds. I thought some colour was definitely needed.
The photograph was taken with my Pentax istDL and the editing was done with Photoshop and Nik filters, mostly Color Efex. I couldn't resist adding a little blue, orange and blue being my favourite colour combination.

I just love this! May I write a poem about it and put it on my blog? I'd acknowledge you, f course/
Thank you! I would love that:)
interesting how different the same image can look. In this case my favourite is the first edit. :)
Looks different in all versions, I for some reason like the first and second best. Soft tones...
I, too, love the combination of the blues and oranges. But the orange edits are clearer and show more depth. I can see what it is supposed to be in them. But, art is art and so I have to opt for the effect of the last two :). So glad you are back ... I have been waiting for you!

Wow I just found this and I love this idea!!
I will see you all next Monday with some orange.
I love what you did to the digital images!!
Happy day to you!:-)
I love the images that have been altered, especially the orange and blue but my favorite part was watching them being drawn in as the computer was loading the images on the site. It was art in action.
This looks so freakin cool!! So amazing how this picture changes...Love the orange-blue effect alot!! Happy new year :)
Hi Lori! Happy New Year! I hope 2013 brings lots of blessings your way!
As usual, you are so creative with your edits...love them!
Thanks everyone. NIce to see you again on MoM. Interesting to learn which images people prefer too, and why.
Kaylene, I am sorry, but this time I didn't make notes as I was working on the images. I was short of time. You must be having a lot of fun trying out those filters - so easy to get carried away. And to run out of time;)
Happy New Year! And as Jannibele said, "Happy Orange New Year!"
Exquisite composition, I love the color, gorgeous.
I love all the versions of the composition, especially the last one. It reminds me of stained glass. Blessings!
Dear Lorik. Fantastic photograph and fantastic final effect. Beautiful, wild and strong colours. Very, very positive as well. Thank you for sharing
Great effects, the colours are magnificent!
