    Default Photo assignment - May 08 - Around the House

    The first photo assignment is "around the house" This covers a considerable range from macros to textures, pets, kids, furniture, sculptures, art, renovating, cleaning, flowers, etc.

    Thanks to Bahandi for suggesting this new forum and thanks to tegan for this month's idea.

    OK - now who is going to be brave enough to post first?

    Personally, I think we can submit multiple times if we feel ambitious...but maybe it's best to post only one image per post. Thx!

    yup the mouse and the rest of the photo are out of focus...and there is a serious hot spot on the desk.

    Just curious? why didn't you try to at least get the mouse in focus?

    thx

    Selectively brightening the head of the cat would really improve this photo.

    OK, I am not sure exactly what you mean by the centre is kinda vacant.
    Composition-wise, three is the ideal number of flowers, which also divide the image in thirds. It would have been better with a fuller bloom in the centre and the water further to the left toward the main centre of focus.

    Horticulture does not always co-operate and I admit to being a terrible gardner. My wife does all the planting.

    By the way, this was a hanging plant from a wooden "fence" near my deck at the back of my house. Shot at f22 at about 1/6 of a second at ISO 100 with a f.2.8 18 to 50mm lens.
