The top image is a second shot since I looked at that first one and thought it was not very good.
O.K. maybe a bit lazy today but, I actually had to work and I also have a job this evening so, I went for the obvious a conch shell.
This will be a real challenge for me. As my 30 day photography challenge I have chosen to shoot with "The Golden Mean" or "Golden Rectangle" (closely related to the rule of thirds) as my theme. It is composition I will be focusing on rather than a specific subject. Knowing this is my weakest area of my photography should really force me to learn. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1013&message=29939768
I like the one with the pink background. The other has too much shadow and is cut off a bit at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteYep. I prefer the pink as well. And it's not hard to be lazy when you've had a full day. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can "see" the GM better in the pink background one. Good on you for doing it over, it's a hard enough theme so don't berate yourself for being lazy, it's good!
ReplyDeleteNothing screams Golden Mean more than a conch shell, so I think it's very clever that you've not taken the picture edge on. nice
ReplyDeletelove your second pic well done
ReplyDeleteI like the lighting and colour in the pink one. The second one made me think it was a knuckle or vertebrae bone! Nice ones, both of them.
ReplyDeleteI think its unanimous! The pink one wins, hands down!
ReplyDeleteI like the lighting on the pink one, but the natural, bashed up shell appeals to me more. Even though the lighting is harsh it is less commercial...just had to throw a vote in the other direction.
