Tones on Tuesday #15 12.27.11

*I apologize for the delay in getting this linky open this morning. I am visiting my dad and the internet connection is a little slower than I remembered.*

I hope you had an enjoyable holiday! I apologize for not visiting your blogs as the holiday consumed my time. I did have a chance to look at your amazing photos and pick a few to showcase! Enjoy and see you in the new year!

Ana at Wonderland

The softness and sparkle of the light hitting the sand is lovely. The monochromatic look adds to the beautiful overall feel of this ethereal photo. Thank you for sharing Ana!

Kristy at Life-n-Reflection

I am a big fan of Kristy's work. I love how her style is so identifiable and soft and lovely. This photo captures a unique view of the holiday season. Thank you for sharing with us Kristy!

Lili at Sanukipity Photography

Can a photo look quiet? To me, this one does. The snow, the dog waiting patiently and the texture applied all give it a quiet, peaceful feel. Thank you for sharing Lili!
