Project 365Library Thread

Starting on the first of March, I worked on my own Project 365. For twelve days, I managed to catch an interesting picture. It’s helped me improve in some ways, and it’s definitely fun. I wanted to show each picture of these twelve days, and include a bonus photograph that seems to be gaining popularity at a slow but certain pace on my deviantART account. Unfortunately, I have a small problem working with people at the time. I have some good pictures, but I also have some bad! The good news is, I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. No, that's not the real good news. The good news is I'm able to practice more with people now. Twix is now a model for the BeautifulYouth Project which I'm now the East Coast Photographer of, and there are others jumping in as well. I also managed to find a couple of volunteers to help me get started on ModelMayhem. Okay, time for me to stop babbling.

When I tried to submit my initial post with four pictures, it wouldn't let me. So I will try to include at least three pictures per each post. Please forgive me for the repetitive posting!

By the way, they are not in numerological order... They are in alphabetic order.

I love the first one. Something about a vignetted B&W that looks like an old image with books on digital photography and Photoshop works really well. Don't think it would be as interesting with other books.

And what is the thing in the companionship wanted image? Stuffed animal of some sort I assume, but can't figure out what it is.

Thank you, guys!

Ryan, the stuffed animal in “Companionship Wanted” is an adorable turtle. =)

Are there any advice?

Are all of these processed using Nik effects? I'm seeing a disturbing trend with Nik effects that I'm not liking. None of the whites are white, they're all grayish.

I don't know what a Nik effect is. I add two reflected gradient layers to kind of add a faded border around the picture, but other than that I turn them black and white and mess with the curves quite a bit.
