March Photography Challenge Discussion Thread

[StormFeather]

Ok, well it's been a while since I've entered the photography challenge, but finally got around to digging out an admittedly old photo. Hope to get some fresh inspiration for a second pic, but not sure if I'll have the time.

Had a great idea for one of mine, but Mosaix beat me to it with his Lion - he is stunning! where was he?

Loving the interpretations so far!

*Alchemist! Love the jelly fish - although it may be stretching the theme slightly!*

Edit - Thanks Hoopy.

Coincidentally I was also going to post a crab as well as the lion, but the shot wasn't good enough. Love yours.

The lion is in Japan's national zoo in Tokyo. I got a few shots of him. What impressed me most was his understated power - he looks lovable and cuddly but you can just tell he's oozing strength.

It was them or one day old Gemini lambs, and we've had enough sheep already.

(Glad to see more entries. I was beginning to think I'd made it too hard)

You had.

But so what, Alchemist? It is a challenge, after all - it's supposed to make us think and come up with new ideas - well done.

Gee, Thanks!

Your lion is truely marvellous. the one I have looks a little soppy! I have another option up my sleeve, if I can't come up with anything else - surprisingly short of dragons around here!

Alchemist - it's a tough theme alright, but that's good. I like being pushed to think outside the box!

Why do I get the feeling that mosaix's aquarius is being held for ransom?

Alchemist, aquarius might not be around, but 'the water carrier' is in plain view.

 

[alchemist]

It was more "Send us the money or the watering can gets it. Here's today's paper to show it's still alive," that I was thinking. I wonder how much they'll want for it.

(I'd thought of using a jug, but our jugs are not in a state for public viewing)

 

[mosaix]

Ah, now I understand. It's my age you know. :smack on the head smiley:

 

[mosaix]

Only two days left now. Get those photo's in!

 

[The Procrastinator]

Second one is in. I like this theme, a great combination of challenge and possibilities!

So far I'm loving Mouse's zodiac clock, the Lion and that cheeky Crab. Might change my mind tomorrow though, heaps of good ones!

 

[Culhwch]

That's a great shot, Pro. Love the black and white treatment.

 

[Mouse]

Thanks, TP!

I'm liking all of them so far. A couple of good Libras coming in. Disappointed there's not a Taurus... (I almost posted one, but I wasn't sure whether my photo was of a cow or a bull. And because that makes me sound stupid, I'd like to clarify that it wasn't a normal type of cow!)

 

[HoopyFrood]

Had to post a Libra, even though I felt a bit of a moose posting after Pro's lovely scales. I blame myself for only realising we had kitchen scales today.

Gawd knows what I can do for a second photo, or if I even have time...

 

[alchemist]

Just when I had an idea where I thought my vote was going, the two Libras came in. Not so simple now.

Not long left now for anyone else trying to get in.

 

[Culhwch]

Indeed, just over an hour befor ethe thread shuts down and the poll goes up!

 

[Culhwch]

Entries are closed, and the poll is up: http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/531117-march-photography-challenge-zodiac-poll.html

 

[Talysia]

A challenging theme, this month, and I love all of the entries. I voted for Mouse's clock, though, with Stormfeather's crab and Mosaix's lion as very close seconds.

 

[Mouse]

Woo, thanks!

I really like Taly's Pisces
Mosaix's Leo
SF's Cancer
Both Libras.

Well actually, I like them all. TDZ's Chinese zodiac is cute! Particularly loving the rat.

But anyway, I voted for StormFeather because it's really hard to take photos of crabs.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Well actually, I like them all. TDZ's Chinese zodiac is cute! Particularly loving the rat.

Thanks! I used to go by a ratly name online, and my mom made me that rat hat for a gathering. I just couldn't believe I didn't have a goat in the house, being a capricorn and all. Arrgh!

I do love that clock, but I went with mosaix's lion in the end.

 

[mosaix]

TDZ, thanks for the vote.

Mine goes to Mouse this month - excellent clock.
