Some possibilities for the photo contest.
Sorry, I don't know how to do a poll. I'm sure that I can figure it out quite easily, but I'm just too tired right now. Sorry!

Popcorn


Eggs (revised from last post)


Floating spoon


Champaign


Ribbon


Soup Tureen


Shoes

1. Soup Tureen is my first choice
But I like the popcorn and the ribbon, which due to a moire, shimmers as I scroll.

I too like the soup tureen, but still undecided.

2. I like the Champaign. I also like the popcorn.


I think the Champaign would be my first pick though.

9. Ahhhhhh, although I too
like that shot, it was not in my top running. I just may have to re-think this.

Your comments are much appreciated.

I like the champagne, too. It's hard to pick. I hope you don't do the egg one because I'm entering an egg photo. :-)

10. Although I like the egg shot,
I have eliminated it from the running! Can't wait to see yours! ;-)

Thanks for your input.

17. I didn't mean to pressure you to not submit it...
I was just joking. But I do like some of your others better than the egg photo.

12. Yea, that shot was
an "afterthought." I still had my mirror set up and was eating some popcorn, so I threw a handful on tip of the mirrow and snapped away. I've been taking many "popcorn" shots lately, but haven't been to pleased with any of them until this one. Needless to say, I'll take a photo of anything and everything.

Thanks for replying to my post.

6. You did great!
Popcorn and Eggs, nice but not exciting.

Floating spoon exciting, I'm fascinated it's a great visual. I do think it needs more space around the objects, the crop is too tight to suit me.

Champagne! Excellent. I think it's a great shot and very enticing.

Ribbon does not do much for me.

The soup tureen is intriguing and well done. I think it would be a very worthy entry.


Shoes: Spectacular photo! Completely perfect.
My favorite!

13. Mira, your comments are always
appreciated. I too like the shoes, but I don't think there's enough white. Needless to say, I don't have a pair of white shoes. ;-)

7. Love the popcorn on the mirror!
The champagne's pretty cool, too, but doesn't say "white!" as loudly as the popcorn. :)

champagne shot was "white enough", but maybe not! ;-)

Ahhhhhh . . . decisions, decisions.

It has begun to snow, so maybe I'll head outside again! ;-)

Thanks for commenting - truly appreciated.

15. All are winners!
I really love the shoes, but I can't see a lot of guys voting for it, LOL. Reminds me of Cinderalla!

Okay, I love the ribbon. I am really drawn to the transparent whites, and what they do to the object behind them, which is why I attempted the fog pictures. I like the see through effect even more than the mirror effect.

Even though the eggs show a lot of technical skill, I am not sure that the subject matter is that engaging, and it is just a more straightforward subject. It doesn't show as much creativity in choosing the subject matter, and relies solely on what seems to me to be just plain great photography, albeit of a mundane subject. And it really isn't a new angle on eggs. I don't really react to the eggs with any sort of delight..........or anything, like I do some of the others. Still a fantastic photo, though.

These are all actually so outstanding--terrific ideas.
