Silky?

travelways

My first thought for this theme was water, of course... and I had some shots in the very first day.

I haven't posted any yet, thinking that the Indian lady was more interesting and also thinking that I'll have the time to take some more... I haven't, but maybe today :dunno

Anyways, this is what I got - not sure if any is worth being in the challenge gallery, but I'll show them to you:

Thank you for looking

So, they are all bad, right?

Do you guys think that this maybe be better?



Thanks,

I like #5, #7, and the balloon, with no clear favorite among them.

Not bad at all. I reallly like the silky texture of the water photos, with 4-6 being my favorites. I like the colors and reflections of #6, but they may make it have a less silky feel--not a less appealing photo, but maybe less on theme for this challenge. The ripples do cool things to the cloud reflections though. #7 is definitely on topic. You really captured the feathery texture of the grass, and against the darker background they really pop. The vertical stem on the left kind of divides the photo a bit, but all in all I really like that one.

The balloon photo is great too. I really like the warm tones, and the way the sky fades to gold at the horizon. the light is wonderful--the golden hour strikes again.

For a favorite for the challenge I would have to agree with WhatSheSaw, #5 and #7 would be my recommendations for the challenge. The balloon as well, but I would probably go with the other two before that. Just my opinion, of course.

I like #7 best. Cool shot.

I agree with the others for 5 and 7. On 7 I would play with a tighter crop as the left side distracts for me but love the lighting. I like the idea of the other water shots but feel they need a stronger more crisp focal point to carry it off. The balloon is a bit dark for me and doesn't register "smooth".

I can only view these on my iPhone, but really like 7 for the challenge. The balloon and 5 are also good options!

Thank you very much all of you.

Wow, I thought I was all wrong...

Yes, #7 was one of my favs. too and I did play with the crop, but haven't submitted

My husband said that he knew a place with more similar grass, so I'll go out and play... if I don't get anything better I'll go with #7 modified a little

Thank you again.

I like the balloon, but then again, I liked the Indian lady too.
