This I can reshoot to my heart's content--Very cooperative subject this time around. What do you think? Should I go with it?--I will wait until the skies are not so glum to reshoot.

    Yes, I like the B&W, love the grainy look ... try it without the line (window sill?) going across.

    #2 has a great feel to it.

    Hi Liz....

    Very nice work....super creative. I too love the grainy feel of #2. My only suggestion would be to make your subject (the reflection) a tad more compelling. I won't begin to offer any suggestions, as your much more creative than I. :D

    Nicely done.

    Hi everybody.
    So the vote is in---looks like I'm going with the b&w grainy shot. I've reshot a few just a little while ago and it has a much darker and dreary feel plus the b&w grainy, which is I guess more apt for my title.

    Shimon--I reshot taking care not to get the windowsill in the shot.

    Christopher--
    I get what you are saying about a different subject in the water--I have an idea, if it pans out I'm going that route--same thing glass of water with inverted image, just a different image--if it doesn't work than I will go this route with what I've reshot since this morning. And thank you for the "creative" compliment:D .

    Thanks all for your input.

    Thank you Tom and Sbarge for the additional comments:)--



    Now if you guys would oblige me with the following:

    Ok, these are the ones I reshot--
    These are my top 4, in order of my favorite--can you guys help me narrow it down to one.

    Title stays the same "Housing--Under Water"


    I like this one because it's so very dark, you almost don't see the glass.

    #2 from the first set is my personal favorite and I love the idea for the theme. I had a similar thought using water droplets. But as you saw I abandoned that idea.

    I like the graininess of the Black and White it feels wonderful!

    Thank you Sherstone.
    I too like the grainy b&w--funny that you liked the original set and not the reshoots. Isn't that the way it always works.

    I keep going back to my reshoot to #4--so far that's the one tugging at me (for now anyway). I will likely change my mind as soon as I post it into the gallery and there will be a little "delete me" under my original entry.

    I appreciate your input--will keep puzzling over which one to enter.
