PORTRAY "HAPPINESS" IN A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE. YOUR SUBJECT CAN BE ANYTHING. PROCESS AS YOU LIKE

I had intended to go to Oxford this week and I'm sure I would have found a subject that portrayed "Happiness" :-) But, things worked against me and I didn't get out with my camera. I had, therefore, to resort to finding a subject at home.

In the Discussion Thread Val said, "There is a lot of room for interpretation"
Well, I have gone for a lots and lots of interpretation with my entry :-)))

I had been listening to this album ("We Ran" released in 1998) by Linda Ronstadt. It was obvious to me that listening to any of Linda's albums brings me happiness. Linda gave so much joy and happiness to millions of people during her recording career now tragically cut short by Parkinson's disease.

I fetched my camera and this is the result. The processing was done using Silver Efex Pro 2.

And, for 'Sight and Sound' I have chosen "Ruler of My Heart" from the album. I especially love the saxophone playing by Plas Johnson :-)
