    Jag,
    out of the three entries (two with the bird and one with the silhouette) I think I like the first one best of all, since it's a decent shot and a nice idea.

    It's close, but...
    Let me ask you in return: is this something you may consider putting on your wall, your desktop, submitting to any challenge or at least writing home about?

    My Palm Shot
    Here is my palm shot. I think it tells the story pretty clearly, but I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks!

    Hi Lauren,
    thank you for your entry!thumb.gif

    To my utter dismay all I see a built-in-flash-aided snapshot of a icescream scooper and a few fingers holding it. ne_nau.gif
    If you re-read the lead post, you'll see the bar is set a bit higher than this. deal.gif
    There are also a few very nice entries to this very thread so you can check yours against them.

    Lighting is a bit bland to my taste, but it mimics the class room settings, so..mwink.gif

    Thanks for the critique. It's my first "assignment" and I blew it......rolleyes1.gif. I'll give it another shot or try another topic. I'm always ready to learn! Thanks again--

    Thank you.
    Even though this shot follows the dreaded trend of "thing on a palm" rather than showcasing a palm itself, at least I can see some story. thumb.gif
    Yet it doesn't make the light any less harsh mwink.gif

    Glad you found the humor in that as I figured you would. rolleyes1.gifWas just
    spanking you... :whipI'm tired of sitting in the back of the classroom
    for being off target. I was pleased with the prior effort and wanted to glow it
    more for effect but you mentioned minimals so slacked off.

    Thing is I want to say thank you for pushing like you do. I wouldn't be getting
    some things I am if you weren't. Really appreciate all that your putting in
    on all levels. Way cool. Plus, plus... thumb.gif

    This is a shot of my hand (palm) and my cute little pet Pleo named "Xander". You can Google "Pleo" or got www.pleoworld.com for more info on what a Pleo is. :D

    I guess it does tell a story about you since you have a "dragon" in your nickname mwink.gif

    Freshly cut grass:
    290560080_92QWC-M.jpg

    Not the worlds most artistic shot, but I like it anyway. ::shrugs::

    I was actually just outside running around with the dogs testing out my shiny 40D I got yesterday then remembered there was the palm assignment not that long ago, so I grabbed some grass (my husband had just finished mowing) and snapped this real quick.

    f4.0
    1/250

    Congrats on the 40D! clap.gif
    As to the shot - it shows mostly grass and only a little bit of palm. Grass is your hero, not the palm...ne_nau.gif

    Here's the non-BW worked version for reference. I prefer the BW, but I 'd be interested what anyone else thinks (or if this image is worth even thinking much about).

    Oh, so this is a lead guitar? I thought it's some sort of bow-type instrument. headscratch.gif

    Well, to be honest, this image doesn't strike me as a palm-oriented. The instrument, the pam and background all draw almost equal shares of my attention. Also the hand looks artificially posed. I would much rather prefer to see the hand in some stretched out bar/chord position.

    Anyway, thanks for the effort! thumb.gif
