I hope to get some time tomorrow to get a new shot.

I have an idea - I just need to find time to execute it.

There are a couple of us who need to get going, me included Dave has gotten Eligible off to a good start. I am still digging out from the holiday and time away.

One in Eligible

Three more in Eligible - mostly to fill it up.

A couple of these new ones will be replaced with a new idea that I have to shoot.

Hmmm - 2 days between posts.

I thought Color would be a easier and popular topic.

Or maybe everybody is just real busy.

I've posted two I'm considering for Eligible in Pending. I'm wrestling with whether to enter them because they are both images of works of art created by others.

I can understand your dilemma, as I have wrestled with it myself. My general conclusion (for me) is that I will shoot art in context for challenges; ie, when there is something else in the frame. Thus, a photo of the painting like you show in pending is kept in my photo library to enjoy. The statue of the albatross is different. However, in this case, the colored base draws my eye away from the bird.

The distraction of the colored base is what prompted me to consider the albatross as an entry for this challenge. It's an object I have long wanted to photograph outside (particularly for the art and architecture challenge), with a brilliant blue sky in the background. Yesterday afternoon, however, sunlight streaming in a window (on what was a very cold day) caught my attention, and I grabbed my camera before Mother Nature could have second thoughts. The sunlight also illuminated the painting, so I shot that as well. If nothing else, I now have record copies of the pair. Thanks for your thoughts.

Is anyone else getting this message when posting comments on Pbase photos? The last few days I've gotten this every time and on every device I use. After I hit refresh the comment appears. Very odd! Paul

Me too. I saw my comment posted this morning.

...to Jim and Dave re the Set Up, Paul-Like, on my Rain-red image. It was some effort...but poof, it was gone....maybe a week ago.

Well, stuff happens...probably my fault.

I’m always excited when it’s near the end of a challenge and I peek at the vote booth and the booth has picked up the challenge. It was showing as early as Friday so I call that good news. Paul

I agree. Jack has been on his game recently.

I don't think so. Something seems to be up with entering comments. I'll try to remember to copy my comments before hitting the "add comment" button so I still have them in case things go awry. They can always be posted here so long as the subject photo is referenced.
