Weekly challenge 8/24 - 8/30 Killing me softly

[SquarePeg]

late posting this as I am just back from vacation!

For this week’s challenge, the subject will be “soft”. This could be interpreted several ways - soft focus (in camera or with software or filters), a soft subject (kittens?) or soft lighting (reflectors, scrims, backlighting, mist) . Or any other creative use of the theme. The only rule is - as always, new photos only for the challenge. Get out there and shoot!

Here are some links to get your creativity flowing.

Great light! The detail/quality you always get in the eyes and skin is simply amazing.

Too trite, but I swear the first thing I thought when I saw the sky was, “How soft that looks!”
