Not entering this month's challenge, but I just had to share what a skateboarding/graffiti park, in the city, had to offer.

Too bad, I think this one could have been the winner.

Thank you for your kind words, but there are always some great photos, in this thread.

Now you’re talking this is what I envisioned doing. Too bad I didn’t get to it first. Nice work.

Lame attempt I know, but we just finished decorating the tree. Shot in RAW and just hit the Enhance button in Photos on Mac.

Looks like it’s time to vote. Lots of great entries as usual!

I’ll cast my vote for #3. Interesting scene and composition. So much color it almost hurts your eyes, in a good way!

I cast my vote for lucky number 13, because it reminds me of Christmas.

 

[TexOkie Shaver]

I was really torn between #11 & #13. I like how number 11 makes the chairs stand out by making the rest of the scene black & white, but the vibrant color of #13 just jumps off the screen at me.

In the end, #13 won me over.

 

[JackC]

#11 for my vote. It's something I would like to learn how to do. Merry Christmas to All and wishing all the best in the coming year.
