This is the second week of the current One Four Challenge series. Before going further, let’s review: In the One Four Challenge, we select a single image, then proceed to explore four different edits on successive weeks. Everybody is welcome! For more information about the One Four Challenge, you can visit this page. And be sure to visit Leanne Cole’s page.

So I started with an image of a wooden fence in front of varied wildflowers. The image with the fence is a nice one on its own and has been posted before. However, for the first variation, I removed the fence and made slight modifications to the tonalities. These were the results.

Here (and above) is the new image, Variation 2.

What I’m after here is a progressively more abstract image, featuring a soft pastel look. The plants are still there, almost recognizable as wildflowers. But now the wildflowers are providing a base on which to develop the new softer image. It will be interesting to see where this goes next week.

Here is a side by side comparison of the two variations. Variation 2 is based on variation 1, and I hope you can see the progression toward the more abstract.

So that’s week 2. I would love to hear what you think of it, and where you think this should go next. Have a good week.
