Just for fun, I made a mirror of the passionflower vine, that I was working w/ this week. I think it looks very "Christmassy"!

Weekly Challenge #565 (12/16/12 - 01/05/13) Red & Green - Submitted by Sandy Richards. Photos that are composed almost entirely of these colors.
Nice photo, but doesn't meet my definition of "almost entirely".
=========================
After being informed by a few e-mails I've recieved, I wish to retract the above. And I apologize to anyone who may have been made to feel uncomfortable by comments. That was not my intention. I'll try to be more skillful in the future.

Lucy, this sure fits MY definition!
This is very well-done and creative.
I'd like to see it a bit sharper, if possible.
Nice entry!
Sandy

Definitely fits my def as well with the primary colors and overall feel "red and green."

Thanks Sandy,
I do have the original of this photo in focus....but, since I wanted to really emphasize the green and red....I added glamour glow, which softened it.

Very creative entry for the theme, Lucy! The symmetry of this appeals to me as do the great colors. I like the processing you did in this; the border is the perfect finishing touch! Does feel very "Christmassy"!

Nicely done. Very creative approach with the mirror image. It definitely fits my definition of almost entirely (what really is almost?). It also led me to think how fortunate we (some, most, all?) of us are to being able to enjoy these creations in red and green only (well almost entirely so). To some, these images will appears almost monochromatic. Thanks for creating your image and for sharing.

Although I've never mentioned it..Roger....
my husband is red/green colorblind. He does not understand my passion for photos, but after 33 years, has learned that photography is a part of me. He does see a beautiful red flower with reddish brown leaves and bright yellow stamens. But, he has another gift as well. He sees and appreciates patterns so much more than I. Many times, he is the one, not I, who sees the forest through the trees. So,all is not lost on the colorblind!

Let's see... Add some ripples to the bottom half to turn it into a pool... Alter the anthers into a dragon's face.... Glamor glow, huh? It does bring to mind a poinsettia. Certainly an interesting entry and fun.
