One-To-Three Photo Processing Challenge — April 2026

For this monthly prompt from Kate at XingfuMama, the idea is to pick a photo we want to play with and process it using three different methods.

Just FYI, all processed photos in this post were made using apps available for the iPhone at Apple’s App Store or AI art programs. Also, all images, including the original, were resized (shrunk) to make them quicker to load (and to take up less space in my WordPress media folder).

The photo I’m featuring this month was originally taken on March 1st. It’s actually a screen shot of the image seen from my Ring doorbell camera taken at 7 am. My house faces East and there is a wood fence and gate surrounding my front porch and the angle of the early morning sun created an interesting geometric pattern of shadows on the concrete front porch floor.

Conjured by Copilot when I asked for a Cubist/Picasso-like image.

Which image do you like best?
