Stranger in Black and White
I decided to convert Kim's challenge into a black and white.  I decided I liked this version as well.  Thanks again Kim for the challenge.
The Flower Store at Pike Place Market
Seattle, WA
North Head Lighthouse
Cape Disappointment State Park, Ilwaco, Washington
This is a slightly different  composition taken in camera than the last version.  The lighthouse in this is more on the third as well as the fence plays more of a role in the leading lines.  I also toned this differently in Silver Effex 2.  Here is the link to the other image.  http://www.ilenesamowitz.com/PhotoADay/PAD-2012/PAD-2012/i-QBHwFrv/1/L/20120331-IS445212345HDRX2BW-2-L.jpg

For Kim's Stranger, challenge.  Kim, who is a member of the dailyphotos community. put forth the challenge of taking a photo of a stranger.   I don't often often take photos of people.  This was a stretch for me.  I thought this man was interesting and took his candid portrait.  We did converse but being the introvert that I am.  I did not get his full story.  However, this is a start for me.
