Marbles

Posted by Tracey (Maryland, United States) on 26 February 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Another one from a "minimalist" assignment. I actually liked this one better than the clementine, but decided not to use it as it had two objects instead of one.

I was going to say that it reminded me of the Clementine. As nice as the Clementine was, I like this one better. I think the side angle lends more interest to the photo. Nice shot.

@Ron: Thanks Ron! I don't know why I am nervous about submitting work. I still have this complex that I'm not good enough. The confidence isn't there yet. I've bookmarked the site and I will work on it despite my trepidation!

Excellent work. Nice light and clarity. The splash of orange adds wonderful color.

@Barbara: Thanks Barbara! I chose that marble because I knew the orange would pop from the white. I am glad you noticed!

Wow, this is cool, the lighting is great and the colours look so cool! I prefer this one to the Clementine definitely!

@DaveB: Thanks Dave...I used a full spectrum lightbulb in my son't desk lamp for lighting. I don't have any professional equipment :0(

I really like the composition. And the shadow almost makes it one object.

Another nice shot - although I think I liked the composition of the clementine a little better. Nicely taken!
