47...whatcha think

Was able to shoot behind the scenes in a yet-to-open nursery this weekend. Do these fit the theme?





Same one with some "tilt-shift" added in pp:



Thanks.

Seems like a great fit to the theme to me! I love #3!

I think #1 works but with a different crop. I tried a "browser crop" and getting rid of most of the ceiling really brought the young plants forward.

ghinson

Thanks. I'll play with the crop on #1. I want to keep the sun though. Thinking of the title "Starts with the Sun."

Very nice photos, but I expected you to come with a new-born photo...

Sean said not to do something cliche like birth in the entry thread.



Can you hear it though, "do you mind if I let the nurse take over, so I can get a photo and, by the way, post it on the internet?"

Hmm... haven't heard of this but, since this is your speciality, it would be too bad, not to
try at least some gorgeous shots and... let's see what happens

It was just a suggestion to try and push everyone's imagination. New born photos will not be disqualified

Then I am going out hunting for a dead end road!

Well, I don't think this can be called like this:

"do you mind if I let the nurse take over, so I can get a photo and, by the way, post it on the internet?"

1. - it's not for the Internet - it's for a photo contest about the start (of a new life)

2. - the nurse is helping anyway

3. - I think that the mother would be happy to have her new born photo right at the beginning
- It's a privilege not too many mothers can have...

#1 or #3 for me.
Since these seem to be very young plants you could always call it "new born".

I like #1.

OK. I've cropped down the roof and submitted it to the Challenges Gallery using the title "The Sun's Newborn Nursery." Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Wow, I really like all of these.

All the angles/lines/structure in #1 with the sun peeking through... so much space in that shot and so much to look at, my eye just keeps wandering around the image. Really cool.

#2 and #3 - the geometry and blocks of green in there are great. Still spacious and all those horizontals... I really really like both versions of it.

Great, great shots!
