Whimsical Birdhouses

Uploaded: October 30, 2007

Description

F5.2, 1/250, ISO 250, 39mm, taken at the Heritage Museum in Largo FL. These were in a booth at the craft show. I loved the colors and shapes. The white BG is the color of the booth. Slight dreamy effect applied.

Beautiful capture with great colors, Carol! I think this image would also work well in a narrow pano format to put even more emphasis on the houses by removing some of the white space on top.

Mary, Jennifer, Evy, Paul, Pat, Tiia, Laurence, Sherry, R&A, Dominick and Donald, thank you all so much for your kind comments!

Mike, you know, I did this thinking of the neg space thing that Kara Hendricks likes so much, but I think your idea is a great one. I need to go out while the light is right and shoot a pumpkin patch, but maybe I will remove this and redo when I get back. Thank you for your kind comment and suggestion!

Mike, I want to thank you again for your suggestion. I don't know about everyone else, but sometimes I get an idea of how I want a photo to look, and then I don't think beyond that. I had the negative space thing in my mind (although that is usally done to the right or left of an image) and I just never even thought about a pano. So, it is nice to get feedback and ideas from others. It's all the BP members that taught me so much in the beginning!

Mike, R.M.J., Dr. S., Jennifer, Chris & David, thank you all so much for your kind comments, and thank you Jennifer and Mike for taking a 2nd look! :) #5007003

Carol Teal October 30, 2007

I decided to post the first version for those who did not see it. #5007033

Chris Ebben October 30, 2007

I agree, the 2nd version is the best, it shows them off better. Good one=^..^= #5007283

Great find, beautifully captured, Carol! I don't know why it is the judges pass by some of our most interesting (in our opinions, anyway! lol) photos! Hope they come back to this one. :D #5019185
