The beach where we are staying has the wonderful mixed colors of sand. As the waves deposit rocks on the shore, the sand shifts around the objects as the water recedes and sometimes interesting images emerge. As one might 'see' images in cloud formations, we found ourselves noticing such with the rocks and the sand.
With this red, almost heart shaped rock, the image that 'emerged for me' was that of one handing their heart to another.
I frequently stop off at this vintage junked cars yard and take photos through the chain link and over the razor wire defenses. The old paint and rust do well with HDR techniques.
Shot posted as comment about what we do with our shots when we process them. This is the previous shot after processing with Adobe Lightroom.

What is reality: the previous version or this one?
Just curious.
An old photo of mine I stumbled upon while browsing my images folder. Either under or over exposed, but at the time not deemed 'worthy'. Revived in sepia to hide infinite sins.

Just me playing around in PS with a shot that didn't really work out how I wanted it to. I had thought at the time I took it how I wished I had my holga with me instead.
112/365: "One of these days I'll catch up to my predictions. One of these days I'll be more than just man. One of these days I'll be stronger than addictions...
I will protect you from, all around you
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us, can't be broken
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always...

It was for my art project, but from my standpoint now .. it should become a series with more pictures to the subject "Technoaddiction", this is me by the way
This is the last photo I edited using the Picnik tool in Flickr. Just after I did this Picnik was gone and replaced by aviary. Aviary can't do this.
This is an extraordinarily small daffodil. Not sure where it came from, because it is not near any of the other one. This is an HDR rendering of three exposures produced with Lightroom.
Details from a stack of books (once again it is dark when I get home from work and inspiration is not really in the house…!).
I pulled this old photo out of my pile of folders to share another post-process technique I have used to make up for bad backgrounds.
This time I took a previous session's test photo of a blanket and placed it behind the layer of the new photo. I erased the old background to reveal the blanket and used a colorize action to turn the blanket to a blue that matched the blue of the new photo. To help transition between the two layers, I used a blur paintbrush and ran it across the edges of the white blanket where it met the new background. I found this to be much much faster than cloning a new background (see the previous upload in my photostream) although with this technique you have to be careful that the background doesn't look fake and too different from the foreground. (I'm still debating whether this example works or not but I mainly uploaded it for the technique itself, not my first attempt at executing the technique. If you take a photo of your backdrop before the current session, then you have a much better chance of it looking natural when you use this technique.)
