All of the following photos are from my archives. I gave them a fresh new facelift using PICNIK, a photo editing website. (Thanks to Ed and Colleen!) Picnik is very fun and so simple to use and extremely addictive to play with. Each of my photos uses a completely different Picnik editing technique. Can you tell what they are?
This week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is to share photos of anything that begins with the Letter ‘C’. Here are my contributions:
1)Crowing Chicken. (Our Golden-laced, bearded Polish rooster, Sid Vicious)
2)Copper Chair Lift in Red River, New Mexico
3)Claustrophobic Cave in Red River, New Mexico (I can’t believe I was able to get in there with my bum knee)
4)Camel in Cedar Crest, New Mexico
5)Canine (Our German Shepherd, Zuni)
6)Car in Edgewood, New Mexico RT 66 Parade
7)Carson National Forest, New Mexico
8)Castle in Montezuma, New Mexico (I had fun with this one!)
9)Crutch (Me, my crutch and my horse, not long after my knee surgery)
10)Cow in Stanley, New Mexico (Mooooo!)
11)Carriage Ride in Angel Fire, New Mexico
Please tell me which one is your favorite. And why?
Check out Sunday Stills to see what other folks have come up with for this week’s challenge!

I can't believe I had so much trouble with this one and you came up with so many! I love the castle the best. It looks so spooky! I see a few Picnik things I need to try. Great job!
What? We can only pick one? That's mean!
Hmmm...well, I'm a big fan of chickens, and I'm intrigued as to how difficult it was to separate Sid from his background, so I guess I'll choose #1. But I think you chose a great shot to do whatever it's called you did to the chairlift picture...and the sepia-toned cow looks real ol' timey.
So, HAH! I picked three, nanner nanner nanner!
I loved the castle one....you made it look magical, like something out of a fairy tale.
My favorite, of course, is Sid - you know I have a thing for him! LOL Seriously though, I love the way, by making the background B&W, that Sid becomes even MORE of the focal point than he already was. His colors are absolutely gorgeous.

hahaha..you have discovered photo editing..and the OCD will be more elevated..I know for myself!
Love them all, I knew we would have a Chicken! I love all the editing, I do use Picnik as well, it is great..
I fixed my photos.. I hope you can see them now, let me know if you cant.. we had a storm roll through as I was doing stuff, and power was coming and going!
Oh, I am lovin' number 8!!!! Love the electric color in this one! All are great pictures but 8 really speaks to me. Good job, Lisa!

WOW!! What a great selection, but I have to say I'm partial to Sid Vicious, he's so handsome. LOL
I like the car...it looks like it is really moving! Your rooster is cool too...and the camel... i love all your pics!
I like the cow the best, because I'm a sucker for sepias! Seriously.
But I also like the shot of Sid, esp how he stands out against the b&w background.
I use Picnik too - when I don't feel like dealing with Photoshop. :) It is fun, isn't it?!
I don't have A favorite... I like the rooster, the camel, and the castle...the camel one is really cool...and the rooster one is just...awesome. I LOVE pictures with just the subject in color!
I LOVE picnik, but for some reason, my internet tends to freeze when I use it...so unfortunately, I can't use it as often as I'd like :-/
Nice shots!
I love them all too, but my favorites are Sid and the camel. Great compositions and color. You DO know your business!!!!
wow lisa you did excellent
i love the processing of the first photograph!!
I liked Sid the best, both because it's a cool effect and also becuase it's SID. I love him! I also like the cow photo. Very good shots.
crowing chicken!!! Sid's feathers are amazing, especially with your help!!!
How come you picked so many neat photos? Makes it hard to pick.... Love the camel shot
Ms Lisa, its a tough decision but I chose the camel, because of its snobbish look, yet very regal.
I have enjoyed your editing techniques, now should we blame Ed or Colleen?
Enjoy your weekend!
I have to admit, I can't pick a favorite! I love them all! Especially Sid Vicious, he is such a cool guy!! Another favorite is the last one, looks almost dream like! Great job!!
These are great pictures. I love Picnic!!! It's so easy and free :) I do wish your music wasn't auto play! It came on really loud and it's very late here...
The castle! The castle is my favorite! It's glowy pretty!
Love 'em all, but I like the camel best; makes me want to plant a smooch on that velvety nose!
Hard to pick a favorite. I think I like the composition of the hillside best. The perspective on the camel is very good, but I'm not jazzed about the black corners. And you have actually a different C on the last shot. That's a Coach not a Carriage :-D. Nice shots!
Have to go with the castle, but they are spectacular. You look so happy with your horse and crutch and you have done a fantastic job of editing every single one of them. Great work!
This was hard! Camel is #1 - I thought I could reach into the monitor and touch his face. Sid, I'm afraid, comes in #2. He would have been first, but I just couldn't resist the camel!!!

What an excellent post enjoyed it a bunch.
You did great with that software! Cool work! I like Mr cock & Camel :D I Think LISA stands for
Lively Innovative Social & Adorable! lol! ;)

Sid because he looks exactly like my former Bad Boy Rooser a.k.a. the wicker rocking chair.LOL...
Lisa thank you so much for all your suggestions on the hand punched nest box. I had thought about putting towels and hand cloths in it. I may make some photos of it like that.
You will have to see the hand punched pictures FarmMan is doing now. He just finished one of a horse that I think is great. It is on my side bar.
Have a great day.
Loved all the pictures.

I must say that I love all of these lol! But to choose one I would say #9! I had a double take on that one. It said horse but painted like a jersey cow. And the pic captured a bit of joy in your face there with your horse! #1 was my other most favorite. very nice!!!! I enjoyed your post cant wait for more!!
Oh I pick the car! I love that and a Shelby Cobra! What? A girl can dream...lol
Way COOL!! You have been busy with the photoshopping..:-))
too many good ones to pics a fave, they all are...
My favorites are Sid, the Car, Castle, and Cow.
I am feeling better my friend, thanks. King Avelino must be Sid's twin. The gentling is no longer working and he's becoming pesky. I like how he stands out from the desaturated background in the photo.
The motion blur on the car is really fun, but the Castle takes the Cake! I think it reminds me of holiday lights and would make a great greeting Card. I like the vintage look of the Cow, it's very nastalgic. Great job! I will have to check Piknik out.
I think I love the camel one the best! They are all awesome though!
Fabulous collection of "C" photos! Hmm one favorite. Ok, I think I keep going back to the castle shot. You did some really unique editing on it and it does look mystical and magical. Great job!
Sandy
I love the C-rowing rooster but you did well, very C-lever!
Sid and the Camel are my faves...you are brave...I would never attempt that cave!
Great Pics.
The cave looks so fun to explore!
Beautiful photos, I'm going to check out the photo editing website.
The carriage because I could totally use a pair of Percherons and a big ol wagon like that for my carriage business.
I like all the pictures! I especially like how you darken the edges? I can't find that tool on Picnic( which I also love!) How do you do it!
Hi Lisa, You have had some fun with picnik! Well I liked Sid..and the Carriage..both were striking photos..you did great with all these cool C's:)
I like that photo of the horse with the open mouth. Did you ever hear the joke about the man who put his hand into the horse' mouth to see how many teeth the horse has, and the horse shut his mouth to see how many fingers the man has. A very old story from Readers' digest.
All your photos are fantastic, esp the camel.
HA! This was fantastic!
I liked them all so much...
but of course~ Your gleeful smile with your mare with pokadotted C------s IS MY Pick!
And...it has finally allowed me to pic for the gifintg I promised with your answer of long ago to a blog question, you answered me well!
XO

Wow - as usual, great photos girl!!! I love it - I think I need to check out the site myself as i have a few photos I've wanted to do stuff with for my website and blog and haven't gotten too because I can't figure out how to do it. I am always inspired by your blog Lisa keep up the good work!
