If I keep picking up interesting junk, I could one day be featured on Hoarders. :D

What do you think? Any critiques?

    I like both the photos a lot however on the first one, Im not sure I see the "three". Is it because the ball looks like it is falling apart in three sections?

    For the second photo I think I would crop the left side in far enough to take the other finger out of the frame.

    I personally like the second photo the best out of the two :)

    I tend to agree with AlTheKiller here. The second is the better shot to me as well.... with the exception of the distraction of the fingers behind the ball on the left side. There is enough there to notice, but it is hard to make sense of what it is. I think it would be cleaner with a slightly tighter crop. The first one is a cool photo as well. Looks a lot like the ball our neighbor's dog got a hold of.

    I agree... I don't see "three" in the first shot. Definately the 2nd one.

    First shot = "Baseball. Baseball game: 3 strikes and you're out". mwink.gif

    It's a clever take on the theme, albeit a bit subtle. The second shot is a bit stronger on theme but I think you can do even better. :D

    Thanks, Al! I cropped a bit as you suggested. What do you think?

    Thanks, Linda! I love the way you push me.

    Thanks, Tatian and Peter! I have been seeing a lot of 2s and not many 3s in this round and work has been consuming most of my time, so I will probably enter the grebes, unless I find something else today.
