mid month madness 2 entry

[pjs]

Here are my attempts, not very good, but I need the practice.
Theme 1 : Reflections


Theme 2 : Animal


Theme 3: Emotion


Theme 4 : Kitchen Utensil

You expect me to vote for a photograph of coffee ??? YECHH!

Seriously, I think you have a great eye for photography. Practice some more to get the technique down.
I think #1 and #3 are great compositions, let down only by your gear and your knowledge of it.

#4 is probably the best technically, but composition is not quite there.

#2 is a brilliant spur of the moment capture. I was there on the day, and had no idea the bird was there, let alone building a nest. Well spotted.

1 is nicely framed through the trees ... pity about the branch through the reflection.
4 is a really great shot

I agree with Big Red about the reflection shot. The branches that frame the boat look good, except for the straggly branches at the top RHS, and the branch through the reflection is off putting for me.

With the coffee shot, I would have preferred if the plastic container (or even the coffee packaging) was not in the shot. If the coffee beans were in a white bowl that might have looked better.

Good eye to capture the Bird building a nest.

I really like the coffee. I like the container and the packaging, and especially the grounds on the container because it reminds me of how I keep my coffee and of my morning coffee ritual.

I also think the bird is really good. So much more impressive to capture a bird like that that slow moving insects....
