Day 6 - Shell Jar

Yes, it does look like a bulb within a pile of shells, but I see it's a negative now. Good cropping.

I saw your note about comments on yesterday's experiment. I totally missed it yesterday, and just went back to see it. It really touched me, and seeing the comment about it needing a story I added a possible one. It might be fun to create different stories about some of these pictures.

Day 5 - Smiley

Smiley was overjoyed when he was adopted by his masters Jim and Harriet at a truck stop gift shop in Wichita. He enjoyed all of their adventures going to Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, The Great Smokey Mountains, New Orleans, Miami Beach, and he would never forget crossing the Queensboro bridge and seeing the Empire State Building. Then one day, in Micco Florida, Jim, Harriet and Smiley pulled into a place that had lots of homes like his. They were looking at a big, shiny, new home that the guy must have owned. Then a funny thing happened. Jim and the man shook hands, and the man got into Jim, Harriet and Smiley's home and drove to the back of the place with all the homes. Smiley kept waiting for his masters to return. He waited and waited day after day. Of course, donut dolls are eternal optimists. They don't think they are missing a hole in their middle, but that something will be coming soon to complete them. Their future is so bright they've gotta wear shades. Smiley was sure Jim and Harriet were planning the bestest trip of all. Weeks turned into months and then years, and Smiley's home started getting a bit rusty in the back of the lot of homes, but Smiley keeps looking out the window just knowing that one day Jim and Harriet are going to be coming around the corner, smiling at Smiley and jumping back in for the next big trip. He just wishes it would be soon, because he really misses them.

Day 5 - Take 2

Comment:
As long as we're all voting, I very much agree 2 is better with the twisted bend being much better than the "rainbow" bend of 1 and a better angle on the in-focus part.

Day 5 - Visit From Mr. Sock Monkey

Comment:
I love sock monkeys. Great focus and sharpness. I like how he (she) is looking in from the side of the picture, but maybe you shouldn't have clipped the ear. Nice black background.

It looks like some sort of alien monster. Nice DOF.

Comment:
Great shot, Sue! I can really see the love and trust in Bailey's eyes. Very good lighting and background

Mackay's Ice Cream - Since 1948
by Citadel

Comment:
It all seems pretty soft focus. Maybe it's because the strawberry/cherry is soft focus, but the other two seem that way also. Maybe a bit smaller aperture. Otherwise, nicely composed picture.

Going for Gold

Comment:
Now that is intensity. Great high speed shot. Good angle. I'm sure the long lens was required for this shot.

day 4 - water bottle.jpg

Comment:
Good DOF with a more interesting elevated angle than you would normally see in this type of picture. I'd turn the bottle slightly to get all of "Pure Life" out of the shadows.
