 I'm most thankful for God's love and His grace.

Family bible, my cross necklace to give it (hopefully) some interest, a long exposure and "light painting" with a flashlight. Couldn't get the balance I wanted between brightness in the verse, and brightness without glare on the cross, so the verse is darker than I'd like.

Pretty quick PS adjustments - curves, selective colors, and a pass through Neat Image. The turkey is waiting....

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

It's a bit too religious and cliched this one - for me anyway. Nice composition, if a little noisy.

Yes, I'm certainly thankful for Jesus. I like the soft color tones to this. The dark drop-out background works well and I love the lighting of the scripture. My only suggestion would be that it appears a little blurred. I'm not sure if it's from over sharp or just focus?? Over-all, a very nice shot.

A marvelous thing for which to be grateful. Perhaps the supreme example! I like how you spotlighed the scripture passage. Perhaps that's enough. I'm not sure you needed to circle it with the chain? Still, a very nice image.

I like the spotlight effect to highlight the text. I would have liked a little more light on the rest of it, though. Still, I give it a 10 for concept and merit!! JD
