Ok, I confess... this photo was taken for the circle challenge, but when I went to enter it, it had already ended (which I don't understand because it was still the date the challenge was supposed to end). I gave it the "family circle" name and entered it so I could receive some feedback on the photo itself, which I have received many helpful comments. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice (other than the obvious "I don't get the relation to the family theme").
I am new at this (only 2nd entry) so I appreciate the helpful feedback.
Now to those who wanted to know what it is. It is a glass vase turned on its side. The blue background is actually a step for one of my workout videos with a light behind it. I had fun with this and will continue to enter... I am determined to make it to somewhere other than the bottom 10 :)
This image might be improved by casting a little more light on the ball at around the 4 o'clock position to give it a bit more depth; as it is the near side of the ball seems a touch flat. This is a nice picture, but even with the title this does not meet the challenge.
pretty colors and pretty picture. I don't think I can connect this with family since I can't understand what it is. Maybe a paperweight. It is a lovely picture that would be wonderful in an abstract challenge.
This is an interesting photo, but I don't see the connection to the challenge. I will be interested to read your comments at the end of the challenge. I hope you'll tell us what this is.
Well, it looks like a petrie dish ... is it a family of bacteria? It's a very striking image, anyway, although I think it would have more impact without the frame line. 6
I am not sure how to define family circle (English is not my native language) but this seems a bit off topic. But the picture is absolutely great so I will not let it affect my voting.
Really pretty shot. Um.... paperweight? Love the contrast of the red and blue and the framing is a nice touch. I don't care if this is out of the box. I'm giving it an 8.
it's pretty, but i don't get it. I'm sure i'm missing your meaning and have no intention of knocking you down points just cuz i'm not able to "get it". very pretty pic.
