#84 Gratitude

This is what I'm working on for gratitude. Does one stand out more than the others in terms of theme? Thanks, GP
1. Our Daily Bread

3. Our Daily Bread

For the challenge, I like #1 the best. I immediately recognize the bread and it just clicks right in on the theme. The oven fan is just a little distracting for me but only a little.

I love the last shot overall but don't recognize the bread well enough to get me to the theme.

I also like #1, but prefer #3 - I really like the lighting & the bread looks homemade & yummy to me!

I debated about the fan, but was going for a "fresh from the oven" context so left it in. As for the last one, I wasn't sure it was as obvious on theme. Thanks for commenting....GP

I feel similarly but am concerned that #3 doesn't depict the theme as well. Thanks, GP

All three are wonderful and #1 is a fine contender for the challenge. I did see the theme in #3. And I'm wondering how that shot would look if you took it from a wider angle? This would give more context to the image and would make it easier to get everything in focus.

I'm liking 3 if the bread was more in focus. The ribbon around the bread while it's still in the oven confuses me..... Liking the "daily bread" concept.

Thank you for your helpful comments. I think I might try a different lens and see about a wider angle and re-shoot #3 as I like the bread & candlelight but wasn't as confident on the theme. GP

I know what you mean about the ribbon being confusing! I guess my thinking was to somehow visually portray the bread as a gift since I wasn't sure a loaf on its own would qualify for the theme. Appreciate your comments. GP

I always associate that type of loaf with church services... I'm sure that that distinctive shape alone would evoke memories for a lot of people.

I agree that the ribbon on the bread in the oven is confusing. I like the setup of #3. The candlelight just makes the bread look sooo good, but you lose the distinctive shape again.

I like the first one, but without the ribbon. I really like seeing the oven rack.

The ribbon makes me scratch my head as well....I think the title would tie the image to the theme very well...
