Ouch -- first burnt rope and now mutilated Kitty. Boy this is going to be a tough month for props. Nice background. I like the texture contrast between the fur and the bandage.

The gel part is cool and makes a nice pattern, shadows, etc.. Maybe a tighter crop of the left 2/3 with the same aspect ratio would have moved the main subject to the gel instead of the bottle. Just a thought.

True Blue - Day 3

Comment:
Perfect framing of the background flag. I never noticed that the flag uses a 7 pointed star, whereas the US flag (my flag) uses 5 pointed stars. Good to learn something every day! The whites on the right brush might be a little too white as the sense of curved shape is lost.

3: Wilbur Throwing a Baseball

It is funny how things work out. This photo shoot took place at one of my son's soccer games. Every time he was subbed out to the bench, I would wonder around placing the ball and the Pez in different positions and different lengths apart. I tried a bunch of apertures and even focused on Wilbur for a while and let the foreground ball be blurred. Of the 60 shots I took, over approximately a half hour of playing around, this one was the second shot taken!

Day 3 - hot line

Here is another note for you:
"Note to self #2: Do not start destroying the prop till towards the end of the month!"

Just kidding. Nice freezing of the flame. I have never tried shooting fire. Does a longer shutter speed make it flow like it does with water?

Nice textures and lines. I am never sure how to pick which photos get changed to B&W. If you want to post the color one in your comments, we can all take a look at it.

Mirror, Mirror (day 2)

Cool mirror effects. I like the erasure effect on the disk platters. It gives the photo lots of texture. Not so sure that it should extend to his head and legs. Love to read about the PP on this one.

Rocketman (Day 1)

Comment:
Very nice. I like the rocket idea with the bold colors. Does this dude have a name? Maybe clone or smudge the clay a little to remove the line and then it might not look like clay but more like some rocket base thingy.
