What do you think of "Danger" idea?

DawnLand

Hey all. I thought I'd run some ideas by you before I enter the contest. Thanks, in advance, for any comments. Dawn

My cat actually climbed this ladder and was contemplating getting down from the roof the same way when I snapped this. (by the way.....he DID successfully climb down the ladder the same way!)


In this one my daughter Amber was trying to coax him down from the roof. I was afraid he'd jump to her and scratch her up, but he ended up going back to the ladder and getting down.



I spent the weekend cleaning up the yard and AMber thought this would make a dangerous shot.

I like all of them. but the first 2 grab my eyes most. Nice, I like it, good job.

In regards to the third one, you could always retake it with the rake turned the other way, thus posing a painful facial danger (I've actually done that).

I really like the second one. I'm not sure it's much of a "danger" photo, but it's so darned cute.

thanks for the comment
I appreciate your input! I am still looking around for more "danger". Dawn

thanks
To me it said "danger" because I know if the cat jumped on her she'd get all scratched up. dawn

I think the rake idea is a really good one, but the execution needs to be spiffed up, Dawn. I don't get much of a feeling of danger out of it. Maybe one reason is that the direction of the rake flip wouldn't hit the person stepping on it? You could always put the cat up a tree and call the fire department.

Maybe use a slower shutter speed on the rake shot so it doesn't look as posed?It's a good idea tho.

I like the first one - the cat *almost* looks concerned.

regarding the rake, I know from my entry - making it look 'not contrived' is very hard.

I do think the cat looks scared on the first one.... Looking at this picture though I thought of a shot with a person walking under the ladder. Supersticious danger I guess...
