TAKE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR a

Due to my being on the road for over a week, I had forgotten to remind you about the additional little challenge I have tagged on to the Thursday Challenge group.


Last Thursday - the day when things can go haywire, or are just plain peculiar! It is open only to those amateurs who partake also in the THURSDAY CHALLENGE.  (Why?  ...just because...) The one slight slack I will give in this is to regular commenters on this blog.  Over at TC this week the prompt was SOFT (anything) and as the premise of Last Thursday of the month is to get creative and play around in software to produce an image the camera could not, I feel the two can combine this month.


This is one of my scanned prints from the archives.  It was taken with my own Minolta SLR, with delayed shutter mechanism.  That is Jasper Cat MacLean, silver ghost, shoulder-hugging cuddle puss extraordinaire. Softest cat I ever had the honor to know. He was 7 months here; he was with me for 17 years more...

I have used FOTOR free software to manipulate this small image into greyed vignette with aperture 1.4 soft focus tilt and added the transparent border. (This all did obscure my watermark - but I trust you...)

Okay folks, over to you!
