Thinking Outside the Box

Leaf Study. 

Edgar Degas, an artist, studied ballet.    I found this one lonely leaf at the beach.   One rainy day I edited the original image in a program called Picnik.   For me, this is a leaf study; but then I am no Degas.   

I prefer going outside and shooting with my camera; but using a digital imaging program is a lot of fun, a lot of hard work and sometimes doesn't work.  Then I hit the delete key.  Other images I save such as this one.   Ta Da!

I am so thankful for this opportunity to be able to take a photograph, then think, think, think, like Pooh Bear until what I visualize is outside the box thinking.
