Good afternoon dear Friends
Life happens to be quite funny sometimes as I have very rarely use Photoshop in the past for the Professor Moriarty and There is Magic in Air ones and I always make a point of using a specially selected background in the shape of an oïl painting, poster or photograph. And this month, I was very much looking forward to presenting a picture representing Daniela's wonderful Luella Parson driving her car with a fantastic "halo" effect which really gave the impression that the car was coming right at you but ... it was not meant to be as Yours Truly forgot that the Playclicks Photographic Contest does allow any "photoshopping"
So I had to reluctantly say good bye to :
Scandal ! And post a picture from my mini diorama on the celebrity Chef August Escoffier instead
:
Chef of Kings & King of Chefs ! So you see, even in photographic contests, flexibility is a sport and I believe that even if this picture was not at first on my mind as a contender, the Chef of Kings could be a happy surprize...or not, only time and votes will tell
In the meantime, I am delighted that since the decor for the Victorian kitchen is still up, I will take a custom made picture exclusively for the PF photographic contest which will be my very first picture here
I guess that our Friend Gaston will be delighted
