Ch 30 - first, possibly only, attempt

Ann McRae

I have an idea for a sports themed one, but do not know if I have time to execute it.
For now - any redeeming value in this?

Ann, nice idea and I like how you composed it - in the middle the examining of her shadow and opposing figures left and right ...

Maybe you try to fiddle around with the positioning of the title though, there might be better solutions then 'Me and My' on one side with 'Shadow' on the other

You know, of course, that the rules indicate that we can use 800 pixels on the longest side and max. 150 KB - so with that in mind you can go bigger and put your title underneath... it's maybe worth a try

I like the shots and theme, but I might try the title along the top or bottom, maybe in a brown to match the background. Just a thought. I do like the theme

I like it. I could say this or that might improve it, things like all the same size. But my initial reaction was "that is wonderful". So that is what I am going to stick with.

I am not sure I agree with moving the type. Yours is unique. Just MHO.

Great shots. I like the shadow work. Wonderful idea. I wish I could do something like that with my dog... I think it would be difficult to see the pics due to his tounge on my lens. Dog spit :puke1 Anyway. Good job.

peace.

Thanks for the feedback - I will try changing the text - just realized there is still a week to go!

Hehe - good first impressions are so important

Thanks, ginger (and by the way, that cat is named ginger!)

Don't I know it - every time my dog sees the camera, he moves right on up to the lens.

mine used to do that too....its amazing what the powers of a tastey treat can get him to do though.

I would recommend swapping the left and right images. Have the cats looking into the image, not out of each side.

Jenny

I was also wondering what it might look like with the outside photos switched, but then it wouldn't flow with the cats natural movements...So I'm really not sure if I would change it at all . Sorry I'm not much help, I do like your idea though!

judyfuess

I like the affect of having the cat looking away in all of the pictures. I wouldn't change a thing.

merc, jenny, judy

I lost track of this post! sorry!

I believe that judy was able to verbalize why I chose the order that I placed the photos - I often cannot put these things into words for my own stuff. Guess I should try 'critiquing' more!

Thanks
