Your input would be much appreciated.

I was excited for the current theme - the perfect opp to use through-the-viewfinder (TTV) technique that I really like.

#1 - my original as posted in the challenge gallery: fruit salad

#2 inspired by my son's new bucket of Army men - no title yet

I really like that I can see the dust and scratches of the viewfinder in #1 which has been difficult to reproduce in #2 (I think partly because of the sand). But then I really like the nostalgic feel of the subject matter in #2.

Your thoughts are much appreciated. Thank you in advance. :thumb

    Christopher,
    I don't know how you did this but I'm digging it.
    I like both shots--but I like the processed "look" better in number 1.

    I like #1, too. Have you considered "Odd one out" for a title? Or is that too obvious?

    Great idea!!

    #1 for me too, although it is a close call. I really like the dof with the army men.
    I just love the vintage feel of these.

    Well done. thumb.gif
