 So named because escaping the madhouse I work in for an hour to shoot pretties at the park is Happiness. This was shot using the fluorescent white balance preset, with a slight color correction in post.

If you recognize this from my portfolio, I apologize. It only had eight views and was never posted to any threads, so I'll risk the potential eight vote backlash, on the grounds that apparently no one votes anymore anyway.

--

And once again, abstract FAILS! After initially being a bit bummed about the low score, I realized I didn't really care that much because the comments were terrific, and some of the people whose opinions I most respect were among those who seemed to get from it what I do. I'm almost disappointed that it scored above 5.0... for awhile there it was actually threatening to become my worst score ever. So much for the cherry on my misfit's masterpiece.

This may sound weird, but this makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy. It's delightfully colorful and busy. And that one bit in the foreground just seems to be holding its own, and quite happily so.

I keep thinking the boke is too much and distracting, but then I think how cool it all looks. :) I decided I like it upon further review. :) 8

I really like the colors and bokeh, but the high contrast in the background is competing for attention with the in-focus subject.. I prefer Happiness #3 or Happy on My Own.
