Crop Challenge #46

[Red Sky]

First off, thanks Christell for asking me to host this week's challenge. I'm posting early due to time restraints tomorrow. This extra time will allow for more entries, right? Right?:D

I have three images for you to choose from. A pretty, a weird and a junk one. The first is of a hotel near my house that has gardens, a lighthouse looking structure, islands and a swath of lawn that would look good with some heads popping out of it. The second is of a mural on the wall of a tavern that has lots of color and shape to crop. The last is my workbench, which includes too many items, so find one you like and go for it. I really like the Hill's Brother Coffee guy; the way he drinks coffee is so cool!

Anyway, take your choice and follow these rules:

You must crop the image.
The crop can be any size.
You may do other edits.
And have Fun!

I'll be checking in on you!

Thanks for hosting Steven. Here's a couple takes.

The first incorporates the grafitti onto the pegboard of your workbench.

... and if I recognize the location of the second I believe this statue is just a bit further down the path.

I think the workshop needs cleaning up:

This is the way I drink my coffee. After I eat sushi. Before I clean my workbench.:rolleyes:

The aliens have landed! And I think they're after obsessive/compulsive personalities to probe! So watch out Steven and Christell! :twisted:

The alien head is from the great graffiti image!
