I'm going to like this challenge. I like pics with very few things in it.

So I'm going to use this this spot for my pics. I'm thinkin I may have quite
a few.

Remember, photoshop is your friend.

Definitely the Cardinal! They are actuallymy favorite bird, so I especially like this photo. The second fits but, like I think you may have said before (i'm not sure), it doesn't pull the viewer in.

Very good!

EDIT: Very nice editing as well. I'm very impressed.

Thanks Kelly. It's always good to hear from another Minnesotan.
The editing isn't all that hard, it just takes a little time.

I can't use the cardinal pics cause I took it on Sunday. The good news is he
lives in our backyard. I'll see him again.

Congrats on making it to the final 10 in the last challenge. It's a very good pic.

Thanks Tim.

This is another idea. Minimal Sewing Machine.

I like both the snowman and the thread, but I think the snowman has more to say, if you know what I mean. I just really think it's cute.

both snowman & thread are good
I think 'minimal sewing machine' is better because it's more in keeping with the theme.
Very deep.

Thanks adrian.

Now for the real minimalism. What do ya think?

Caps

or this

Handle.

DawnLand · March 11, 2005

I love these
I agree that the cardinal, the more simple photo with just the bird is the best! dawn

I love the last one best! Out of the two above it I'd say the purple stands out. dawn

I like this one a lot. The hint of the paneling, showing very faintly makes it more interesting. The only thing I would change is to get rid of the shadow from the handle itself. Nice!

Thanks Dawn. I don't know why, but I thought that the yellow one was "the"
one. Maybe it's because that yellow is the real color of the caps.
I still have better than a week to decide which one will stay in the challenge.

Two votes for the handle. I think I can clean up the shadow pretty easily.
I'll give it a try later on.

Thanks.

Oh my gosh, hahahaha, you are giving me a heart attack.....that is so cute...so funny, hahhahaha, my favorite so far (tear) ok, I can compose myself now...(sniff) a good laugh was what I needed! You are my kind of thinker! dawn

Also, I wouldn't go with the yellow caps. They just look blurry to me. This one has a beautiful color to it and it is pretty clear. (at least it looks clear on my P.O.S. monitor

)

As all of you can tell, I'm not an artist. I'm just here to have a little fun.
I'm glad you liked Frosty.

Thanks Jenny. The cupboard handle was kind of an after thought. I was
shooting the caps and noticed that it would "fit" in the challenge. But as
Ginger said, "You need a hook." I guess I don't think that the handle has
that hook. I'm not sure what one will end up in the challenge. Right now,
the yellow caps are kind of holding my place.

I shot the yellow caps at ISO 800. I had to noise ninja the heck out of it
to smooth the pic. When i did that, the pic got soft. I may re-shoot it,
but I probably won't.

I took out the shadow from the handle in this one, but I don't like it. It loses
all depth.

Thanks again for looking.

I really like the cupboard door actually. I say keep the shadow and lose that line intersecting with the bottom part of the handle. I wonder if there's anyway to emphasize the lines of the paneling, too? make them darker to give them more pop. that may give you some balance with this shot.

me likey!
