Scavenger Hunt - Seeing Double, Whatever, Sweet, Space & Bright

1. Seeing Double / Two
I took this a couple of weeks ago but it was perfect for seeing double. These are Kookaburra's, giant Kingfisher birds.

2. Whatever
Whatever is it? :-) I joined all the fun by doing my own oil and water photos.

3. Sweet
Processed with Isabelle Lafrance Little Ballerina action
Sweet messages on sweet lollies!

4. Space
My 2econd Skin Aged Canvas texture no.8 applied
Negative space,  the space around the subject. In this photo I took yesterday at the botanical gardens I wondered if the flowers were the true subject of the photo or whether it was the space around them, the blurry hedge, leading us down the path.
In Japanese garden design the negative space around elements is called Ma, and it is the thing that takes place in the imagination of the human who experiences these elements.

5. Bright
Shadow House Creations Scratched Stock & My 2econd Skin Used Canvas no.2 textures applied
Bright coloured lights!

Can't wait to see everyone's interpretations and photos.

Awesome interpretations! I was stumped... I love the fabric shown in the water photos - - it reminds me of an eyelash/eye.
