A Slight Diversion, Part 2

After seeing the photos I posted the other day, a friend suggested I try darkening and upping the saturation. So I went back to the originals and did some tweaking. The dish towels are red [I am still not happy with it, bottom photo] but played about some more with color and blue won. Still unsatisfied I rotated Blue, which I feel works better. When I leave behind that which I saw and wanted, ie the luminosity of color, and let what is, play, fun things start to happen. The stripes are much more alive, and I have forgotten that the stripes are formed from the shadows from the chair slats. Still, it's probably for the oops pile.
