Thursday’s Special: Glow

The last week’s theme was easy, and this one should not be too difficult either. We all need light and glow in our lives, so today’s theme is glow.

A reminder: if you are interested in voting for the last week’s best photo entry, you have an opportunity to do so until next Wednesday i.e. 1st of June.

Happy Thursday!

  25. […] Paula’s Thursday’s special challenge this week is glow.  I could not think of one image that might represent that diffusion of light, that radiance, that luminosity, that incandescence. I know photography is about light but most of my photos lack light in their soul: it impinges, but it doesn’t pour forth. So I decided to sit back and enjoy the embodiment of glow in other people’s photos – Paula’s sun, Tish’s tulip, Jo’s bedroom at Zawady, Irene’s “red and yellow, blue and green”, Le Drake Noir’s purple, Debbie’s Speloncato, Pauline’s Brisbane. […]

  30. Love the photo Paula! I enjoy watching the sunset at our local lake and this photo reminds me very much of it, very nice.

    I wish I had something recent but due to my lapse of judgement my camera has a lot of dust on it’s sensor. With that said I have taken a lot of photos so I knew I could find something to contribute and here it is: https://daffodilhillphotography.com/2016/05/27/thursdays-specialglow/
