#47 - Seeing Red (Congrats PatrickH)

[Sheiky]

I couldn't think of a thing to enter until now, after the deadline. C'est la vie.

I haven't had the list of finalists yet, so perhaps you might even be lucky if he judges yours as well. The rules in our assignments are somewhat flexible

[Sheiky]

The finalists have been selected and the poll is now opened. Congrats and good luck!
Thanks for participating everyone!

Some nice entries!

Maybe just me, but first glance at Kayaker72's entry and I saw a demon silhouette with ice horns and a goatee - perhaps an additional layer of red.

Good luck to all the finalists!

True Kombi. I hadn’t thought about that when I looked at it at first, but I see it now. Thanks for finding another layer of red.

Congrats to all the finalists. Some great photos.

Name: Kayaker72
Motivation: More than any of the other entered shots, this one played on two potential aspects of the theme "Seeing Red" (Denise and Neuro both played on two themes as well but they didn't enter those shots). The obvious one is the red in the berries. The maybe not obvious one is my assumed thoughts that the owner was "seeing red" or was angry at losing the crop.

Ha. You are right to read between the lines. It was a stressful time. I woke up before sunrise to check everything out and saw a tree hanging over one of our cars. I had to bust through the ice to open the car door to move it. The tree came down about an hour later. 300,000+ people without power in New Hampshire. Something like 1.3 million without power between Pennsylvania and Maine. People stealing generators, a couple of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning. As for our household and the other "seeing red," let's just say not everyone thought the need to photography the ice storm was a top priority, especially with the temperature in our house dropping, eventually, to the mid-40's F (before the generator was up and going). We laugh about it now. There are several quotes that we still bring up.

Some nice entries!

I am not sure I'll ever look at the Holly bush the same way.
