#69 Ordinary

slpollett

Nothing unique around my house, so I'm left with Ordinary. The problem with ordinary is that everything is, well, ordinary. I'm not sure I've found anything remotely interesting to photograph.

We did have a snow day Friday (unique for this area) & I took a few photos. They are definitely ordinary, now please tell me if you think any of them are challenge-worthy. Reshoots are not possible, as our snow didn't last through the day. Any critique or suggestions for future improvement are welcomed though!

#1 Snow-Dusted Leaves


2. Same bush, different angle


3. Daugher pitching a handful of snow at me.


4. Same pic in black & white


5. Came inside & caught the cat watching the snow 'fight'


6. Another view of the cat. I was downright tickled to catch her blue eyes for a change.


7 & 8 Neither of these are edited, but offered up as possibilities if none of the above are worthy.




Thanks for looking. I appreciate any feedback you're willing to give.

Number 4 is cool. Nothing says ordinary can't be fun!

the trick is to take ordinary ...
and make it unique
that's when it becomes outstanding!

Thank you, Bill.

We see snow so infrequently here so my daughter had to make the most of the opportunity to throw snowballs at me. I kept yelling "not at the camera!" and she kept yelling back "put the camera down and throw some back!". That's why I didn't take many shots!

I'm for #4 also, ordinary and unique at the same time. Suggestions in general would be to have a tighter crop on 1 and 2, and some editing out the lines of the window or door behind your cat in #6.
