Picture 413 | The Third Contest-Part Two...

SO! How has your week been?
I don’t care.
……………………………………

That’s a good way to start off a post.
I’m just full of mixed emotions.
Am I happy, sad, or stressed?
Hmmmm………
………………..
All of them!
But that’s how life is.
Deal with it.
I wasn’t telling you to deal with it, I was telling myself.
Or maybe I was talking to you.
ANYWAYS!
I’ve been busy as of late and that’s why I skipped yesterday.
Busy busy me.
I’m at school right now waiting for the next class to start.
Classes are going along great!
All my teachers are cool.
I’m already starting to goof in some places.
For my online class, I had to do two replies and I thought I did.
But there was only one.
OOPS!!!
Other than that, everything is delightful.
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS DELIGHTFUL!!??!?!?!
TOOTIE ROLLS!!
..........and the contest results.
This year’s contest was almost a fail!!
Not as bad as my first year.
But not as good as my second year.
Or is it?
Last year I got first, third, and honorable mention.
This year, I only got third and honorable mention.
However, before we left, they counted the votes for the People’s Choice award and I won!
So, first is replaced with the Peep’s award.
And the Peep’s award is bigger than first place.
So, does that mean it’s a better award….which means I technically did better than last year?
I don’t know.
I was almost sad about the whole thing until that happened.
…..I’m still sad, anyways.
To me, I failed my goal.
I didn’t want to get all the same ribbons again.
I would have been just fine with second place because that’s a ribbon I don’t have.
And the best of show…. And the best black and white.
Thusly, because I didn’t win those…. We’ll have to do this again next year!
And it’ll be all black and white too!!!!
At least…. That’s my plan.
ONTO THE PICTURE!!!
This week’s picture is pretty self-explanatory.
All I did was take a selfie with one of the awards.
And the coloring was just as easy.
I just threw in some saturation.
COMPARE!!!

Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original picture to see the after editing one.
If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.

And here’s an alternative angle shot by the Aunt herself!!!!

AMAZING!!
Let's try the Image Slider.
Here's how it works...
There's a blue bar in the middle of the picture.
That's the slider.
The slider will disappear when you move your mouse off of the image.
I did that so you can really see the split.
But, it'll come back when you hover over it again.
You can CLICK on it and DRAG it around to get our own split image.
Or, you can use these presets.
Before FULL, After FULL, 50/50, Before a QUARTER, or After a QUARTER.

Before

After

OK!! THE VIDEO!!
The video picks up after the end of the last video.
We just turned in the pictures and I had to wait for the contest to come around.
So, there’s a lot of me being bored at first.
THEN!! The contest display shows up…..
THENNN!!! There’s the aftermath…
My reaction to the whole thing.
Which ended up being longer than I thought.
I had a lot to say.
So, that’s why the video is almost 37 minutes long.
Half of that is me rambling after the contest was over.
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.

THAT’S IT!!!
Big thanks to my adorable Aunt!
This wouldn’t have happened without her!
Because I had no money for ink and photo paper!!!!
And thanks to you for reading!!
If you’re my Aunt that means you get an extra thanks.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
There is a Part Three in the contest videos, but it’s going to take two weeks to get the photos back from the park people.
That means next week will be something new!!!

I just don’t know what it is yet!!!
