There are times when it’s difficult picking my favorites.

While I need 40 shots to turn in for this (Masterpiece from the Mundane) assignment, I had to narrow it down to two pictures for Museum style mounting for critique in class.

After shooting 1,000’s of pictures (literally) over the last two + weeks, I finally made my decision on the two pictures that spoke the most to me.

This shot is all about color and the shallow depth of field. Something about it draws me in.

Remember all those shots of the splash I posted way back when? Well I finally made my decision with this shot as “The One”. There are many things I like about this shot.

• The cloudy/rainy day went hand in hand with the splash
• The position of the glass in front of that colorful rock
• The color, oh the rustic orange, aqua blue, greens and browns = YES
• The position of the lime as it falls
• The splash above and the splash below
• The activity all the way around in this shot draws me in
• And there is something about the shallow depth of field (blurred out background) that really does it for me

Now to get these guys printed and given Museum style mounting for critique in class. Then I’ll be all set for my presentation.

The professor actually extended our due date as we now have another week to work on our assignments. I’m calling my work done and ready to move on to the next exciting assignment.

Have you any idea how much I love my Digital Darkroom class? Coming home at the end of each class with gained knowledge is quite a thrill. My love for photography is running wild about now!

Bits of news around here:

• Spent all morning working on my assignment
• Enjoyed a lunch date with the hubs
• Planned to have one on one with the iron and ironing board
• Worked on my assignment/computer all afternoon
• Thinking about breaking out the iron and ironing board about now
• Oh, I had my first round of Girl Scout Cookies last night – Gotta love the Thin Mints
• The husband is to blame for the Cookies
• I’m to blame for laying a hand on them

Now before it gets too late, I’m going to march right in there and do something about my ironing.

Until next time…
