1. I see that you have been
experimenting with shadows too! Although I am drawn to "Crossings" (I've taken many similar myself), my intuition (and I always listen to it) likes "The Window." Super creative, and I love the muted colors, in particular the flower. Very well done IMHO.

3. It's been driving my crazy....the theme. lol
Suddenly, I don't know what a shadow is anymore... lol


Thanks! I did that one (the window) first (of the new ones). Got the idea and played with it. Have several different versions of it. (and too many shots to count)

Here's one that is slightly different.

5. This is the one
I like the shadow of the daisy integrating the frame. And color shadows are wonderful. I like your other color shadows as well, but this is the one.

17. OMG The Window rocks.
All your photos are good but The Window soars. I like the second version a tad bit better for the contest because the shadow aspect of the flower & vase is a bit stronger without the flower's color bleeding through. I would probably like the first one better as a print because some of the color bleeds through. I keep going back to look at both.

20. Thanks CC. I have a few versions of that one. One with a big yellow flower.
One done up to look like a silk screen with smaller, delicate white flowers. I used the chrysanthemum for the majority of my shots.

I felt nervous about the window shot...it being staged so completely with everything behind the canvas. I liked it but it felt like my baby, so to speak...and not everyone thinks your baby is as pretty as you do. (that kind of thing)...so I was hesitant about posting it.

2. My feet are really cold now
That last one blew my socks off. I like them all, some better than others, but the last one is nearly perfect. A work of art.

4. Thanks! I was afraid to show the last one. I did it early on in the theme selection.
It is one of those photos that you really like but fear others might not...iffen you know what I mean.

7. Make that another strong vote for the window
For all the reasons above. I also like office play a lot.

15. Thanks Mz Pip.
I'm still not sure. Truth is, I never feel too confident about my photos. I'm leaning toward the window (gotta pick a version though) or the bottles...but I do like the fern a lot.

The tulip is stark and simple...and that appeals to me as well.

Thanks again!

24. I hope that's a good thing.
It was my obsession for a few days of shooting. I'd stop shooting for the day and then get to feeling antsy at night telling myself I could get a better shot. I drove my husband and my animals crazy by taking over the living room.

25. My creative obsessions drive my wife crazy at times.
Now that I can get out of the house, she likes my creative urges more.
