Had a chance to take some photos today and was able to come up with some low key ideas. Should I stick with the current entry, or try one of the other shots below? :help


Here's my current entry:

    I'd stick with your current entry, these are nice, but not as good as your current entry.

    Definitely stick with your current entry and don't look back.- it's great!

    Of these three, I really like the first. I love the way you caught the reflection of the window in the porcelain.

    The choice is ultimately yours. I would stick with your original entry, imo. Though, I am intrigued by #2, specifically, the shapes that are covered by the linen. It makes me want to know what would be revealed if the cloth were drawn.

    Oh Lina I love the teapot and the reflection but I like the road home best.

    OK, high key landscape it is, then! rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for looking, Tony, Paul, Tim, and Gail. I guess I had way too much fun with my camera yesterday.

    I volunteer as a docent at Valley Forge National Historic Park and these are shots of some of the displays in the house I was in. The first two hours were really slow so I used the time to try to shoot some photos.

    All three are great shots and for me the teapot would be the choice if you didn't already have a beautiful entry in the challenge.

    I think you made the right choice to stick with the landscape. Your current entry is not only very strong, it is different from what most people have done for the challenge.

    Best of luck to you!

    I like your new attempts, especially the teapot, but I agree that your original entry is better. If I hadn't seen the high key landscape, I would say go with that teapot. The landscape is just so nice...it's hard to beat.
