December 2010 Photography assignment - Shiny

[casil403]

Here's mine for the month:
Repeating patterns
Shiny
Texture

I like Shiny and Texture

all good ideas. :) I like 'shiny' but will go with whatever is decided.

One more day to get your ideas in or it's looking like a 'shiny' theme.

I'm cool with shiny.

Christmas around the corner..shiny sounds like a great idea. :)

Shiny sounds good to me. :D

Shiny or Ton sur Ton as was also suggested is ok with me.

Shiny!!!

Ok members the suggestion posts have been merged and the theme this month is Shiny.

Ok then who will go first? Thx! Marko

[Matt K.]

Ok, so I'll give it a shot ... this horse stands on the "patio" of Calgary City Hall. It does have a real shine on it, and points it's rear to city hall. I suppose it has something to do with ... ummm ...

Jude01, you really have to change your signature line. Judging on those wonderful photos of the heron and this very cool shiny object I think you've figured out how to work that DSLR!!!! :)

neat Ed!! I like the simple composition.
I found this in a bathtub in the woods (yes really). I immediately thought of the assignment :D

[asnow]

Here is my first attempt at shiny

[Bambi]

very cool Asnow! I like it a lot

[iamunique127]

Oh yeah, asnow, great composition.
All the different shapes, textures and components either lead the eye to or tend to highlight the shiny.
Very nice.

[asnow]

Thanks Bambi and Lyle.

[Donna]

Nice work everyone :)
Awesome job on the composition of yours , asnow :thumbup:
