This was hard. I tried three different layouts and finally liked this one. I extracted myself, made it a graphic pen and halftone patter circle. Then I added the original in color, muted to 25% on top to give a little color to the LO. I used Starry Night and Snowflake value pack.
I know the poem doesn't seem to go with the extracted photo but it was a winter shoot and Robert Service describes the feel of winter, hard packed snow, bright blinding light.

The Spell of the Yukon
BY ROBERT W. SERVICE
The winter! the brightness that blinds you,
The white land locked tight as a drum,
The cold fear that follows and finds you,
The silence that bludgeons you dumb.
The snows that are older than history,
The woods where the weird shadows slant;
The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery,
I’ve bade ’em good-by—but I can’t.

This caught my eye right away! The photo treatment is really cool, and the OOB of you from the frame is perfectly done. The wintery colors are awesome. The poem reads like it's written by someone who really loves Alaska - and I know you do! It makes total sense with your photo! :heartpumpred:

Thank you. Robert Service is known by many Alaskas. One of the high schools is named after him. I had fun playing with the frame. It took about 4 tries to get the frame right LOL But worth the effort.
 
Oh wow Tracy! I am really so thrilled that you had a go with doing this challenge, new things can be hard but once you start and have a few tries you end up with another in your creative toolkit, something to try on different projects. Your results are super wonderful and I love that you did an OOB of yourself! Fantastic work Miss Kitty, love it!! :kitty1:
