I must say that I've enjoyed the challenge of learning how to make this work... :whew
Not sure about the content, though.

As you can see from my post count, I'm new here, but I'm really enjoying the fine work and inspiration to learn that's so much in abundance. I'd appreciate any feedback at all!

    This is really stunning! clap.gif

    I keep trying to make sense of what is in the BG. Not saying you should change it, because I like it.

    Thanks for clap.gif-ing! It's a Dgrin first for me.

    I figured the BG would be mysterious.... it's actually a close up of cubed sweet potatoes with a transparent color gradient going left to right. Part of the personal challenge for me was to capture all the images with a handheld 100mm prime lens (Canon 100mm Macro w/IS).

    nice idea. I was trying to think of what I could get to put together in the shape of a 9... and you just made it work for you.

    Hi there,
    I really like how you incorporated the #9 into the collage, very very clever.
    I like the warm tones and the sweetpotatoes for the background, though I didn't know it was sweetpotatoes until you said so. Had I not read your explanation I would have wondered what our title meant.

    With your title though, I have to agree with rteest42--no eating shots or turkey shots?

    Cameras at the table are frowned upon in my household... ne_nau.gif

    I may do a couple of swaps and reconsider the title before the deadline...

    I absolutely love it, except for the green beans. Another person or animal in there would do it for me. The colors are perfect and I love the shots themselves!

    Yes, I like all of it but the beans, too. If you can substitute another people photo, I would like it better.

    Thanks to all for the input. I've really enjoyed this challenge!

    I agree about the beans. I was also distracted by the extreme tonal difference in the image of the black and white cat. The final version looks like this:
