America Runs on Dunkin'

It was free iced coffee day at Dunkin' Donuts today. I had three! (decaf, though) One of the DDs had this nifty sand sculpture:
And then I played with the legs photo again, using some suggestions I got. I ran a vivid color action on it except for the legs to get rid of the orange, and I cropped it a little more to place the legs more off-center. The original jump photo doesn't have enough in the lower part of the frame to offer more context, so I left the composition basically as is:
And then I added some texture to my horseshoe shot:
And tried it with an acid wash action:

LOVE the sand shots!!! Also, the feet is interesting composition--I like it, it's a different crop than you normally see!

Like the texture on the horseshoes, Becky. It really adds to the "age" of the shot. We don't have DD out here :-( I really miss them.

What a cool sand sculpture! We don't have Dunkin' Donuts here, we have Krispy Kreme. :) I really like what you did with the pp'ing in the last two shots, looks really good!

OH thats so cool on the DD sand. I would have loved to seen that.

I love the feet pic better this time. There isn't much sun glare on her feet . Nice job on the horse shoes.
