#37 - A grave situation

Do either of these have any potential? :scratch

I wonder who's going to have a harder time with this challenge, us or the judges? :huh

#1



#2

Linda,
I think #1 is the closest to fitting the challenge in my opinion and I like the shot, however, I think it's too close to the last challenge (creepy). I feel like I've recently seen this shot many many times, which might work against you.

I'm still in the mood of the last contest theme too

These are very nice shots, but I'm not really sure if they fit into this theme

... get up close and personal with your subject!...

I just don't know

Thanks, Liz and Tatiana. When I saw there were hardly any responses to my thread, I figured these two probably were duds as far as this challenge goes.

Strangely enough, Liz, I don't see these as creepy but I can see where others might and your point either of these working against me because of the last challenge is a very valid one. Thanks.

Hey Tatiana, I don't think I could have gotten any closer to those three headstones in #1 and still keep them in the frame. rofl As a matter of fact, I wouldn't want to just yet.

I'll just have to see about finding something else to fill a frame.

Right - maybe it's just the subject...

I guess it would be better - or maybe you can take just a detail - I really don't know what to say,
but I know you can do such nice images...

BTW: Nice to see your real photo in the avatar

I really like #2, actually - I think it fills the frame nicely!

I'm laughign at myself for having "no ideas" - ok, main reason is I'm busy doing other stuff and just haven't reallly had any time to shoot for this challenge, but still. I usually get comments on my portraits that they're "too close" and to "shoot looser" - so the one time I NEED a close-crop I'm not on the ball? Oy... talk about "contrarian"....

Of these #1 is my favorite. I am not LOVING it for the challenge and think you can modify along the same motif.... I like it but it doesn't POP for me.
