Purple Royaltyby
LydiaComment by dtremain: OK... She who complains about a 5.9...
Possible vote losers: Too busy (gingham checks and polka dots for table / background), hot spots on pool ball, main subject not purple, bottom of the ball cropped off, visible gap between background and table cloths on right side, black spots on top crown points. I'm also trying to figure out if the crown is too tall - out of scale with the frog / ball - not sure about that. FWIW.
Now for my wife: Nothing special about the picture (I asked her - a frog with a crown - nothing special?), too busy - thinks that a white table / background would've made the purple ball / frog pop, also thought the frog's face looked a bit OOF.
Subjectively - it makes me smile. It also gives me visions of trying to pose the frog, set the flash, focus, and getting ready to snap, when the frog is done and gives a little hop and goes on his/her merry way.
I enjoy so many of your photos (your hubby too), and I smile when I see either of you ribbon.
