what a great pic Mariuca .. loving your point of view ..
i'm glad i'm not seeing those poor animals .. i'm actually a vegetarian mainly because i cant help feeling distress when i see a piece of meat on a plate .. thinking of the animal that gave its life .. and wondering what went on before it died ..
i feel sad that i have to feed my dog on a carnivorous diet .. !! .. because she eats chickens and beef etc .. :(

i totally agree with Bill .. there is such horror involved in the raising and slaughtering of the animals we eat .. unimaginable .. if ppl actually knew what went on there would be a tremendous outcry and something would have to change .. but because of the masking .. as bill says .. very little is done .. those animals are in our care .. those animals have feelings too .. it actually traumatizes me .. if ppl want to eat meat there are much more humane ways of doing it ..
i havent seen the rest of your series yet .. but the face on that nearest animal .. no words ..

OMG .. everything i like all in one place .. what's sad is its on the other side of the world .. those croissants look amazing .. crisp .. just how I like them .. bet they're warm too ..
this is as bad as seeing hajeka's food shots.. it makes me want to eat .. even tho I've just had my dinner and I'm a bit full ..
everything about this is delicious .. ;)

Originally posted by mariuca: I like the sequence but I find the white thin borders too bright How would it look without them?

I tried the pics against a white background .. it lacked impact to me ..
so them I tried a black background.. without the thin white borders it looked unbalanced .. I did try greying out the borders a bit .. but the image seemed to look better with them as white .. they may have been better a tad thinner tho ..

ps .. i do use my phone a lot .. even when i have my dslr or mirrorless camera i will still pull out the phone ... as a shot from the phone can sometimes be better than what i could have taken with the camera .. and easier .. !! .. .. but editing on the phone .. i might do more of that .. as usually if i do take a pic on the phone .. i'll then put it on the pc and do stuff to it there .:)

being in the right place at the right time is something very precious to a photographer .
moments are so flighty .. they come and they go .. if you dont catch them they are gone .. forever ..
you have caught something here ..
it has a quality that's hard to put into words .. almost sad .. the birds flying away .. abandoning this cold deserted scene ..
another perfect shot for your theme .. :)
