L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge *Summer Treat ~Winners!

So glad you joined up with us this week!  Loved the different takes on *Summer Treats!  Most centered on enjoying food, but we had a few treats from nature, also :)

Here are the photos that really stood out to me this week:

1) Our Peculiar Lives

I love the vibrant colors of the peach, the softness, and how tight she cropped this shot.  His little, soft boy hands are so sweet, too.

2) Janet Rose

You can just taste how cold and refreshing this treat is on a hot day.  Love the bright colors on his shirt!

Thank you everyone for playing!
I hope you will join us on Saturday when the challenge will be:

L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge ~You are my sunshine *WINNERS!

I loved looking at all the photos for this challenge.  I say almost every week that it is hard to chose just two, but this week it was really hard to narrow it down to just two picks. 

Here are the picks for this week:

1) The Missionary Mama

I can see why this little guy is her sunshine!  This photo has so much personality, and  I love how her subject is in the forefront, grabbing our eye. 

2) A Meg Moment

A fun action shot.  I love the beautiful scenery, and how she caught the swing of the subject's hair, and the golden sunlight bouncing off her hair.  Wonderful shot!

Thank you everyone for playing with us!  We had some new participants this week, I enjoyed getting to know you a bit on your blogs :) 

I hope you will join us on Saturday, when the challenge will be:

Thank you for joining us for the *Red, White & Blue edition of the L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge.  Here are the two picks for this week:

1) Seven Steps Up

how can anyone resist this?  Love all the red, white & blue in this shot, how sweet little Chloe fills up the frame, and how the white of the blanket fades into the background.  Wonderful shot!

A happy photo!  Love the traditional red, white & blue in this shot, plus how the bright blue of the water fills up the frame.  Love it!

L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge / tilt / *Winners!

Loved the entries this week!  I enjoyed seeing the different takes on the theme tilt.  I hope if you haven't used this technique before, that now you will consider it.

Here are the two picks for this week:

1) Janet Rose

 This photo is stunning with the background of blue. I love this photo!  She did not tilt the photo, but played on her son's tilting of his head.  Clever take! 

2) The Missionary Mama

This close-up is very pretty.  I love the purple of the thistle and the beautiful bee perched on top.  She took a nice flower close-up and added some interest by tilting the photo.  Fun!

Thanks for playing, everyone!

1) Light Trigger

Beautiful sunset, beautiful colors and the framing of this shot is wonderful.

Here are this week's winners:

1) Superwoman's Stunt Double

Dreamy indeed!  Oh how those newborn days seem like such a distant, dreamy memory!  She got the dreamy/sleepy/other-worldly-ness mood here.  I love, love the initial on the diaper <3
