June's Photography Assignments: "Travel" and "The Little Things"
Please be sure to read the rules before posting your contributions! Muchos gracias
Theme #1: "Travel"
Theme #2: "The Little Things"
Focusing on the smaller details or macro shots.
I'm not going to go into descriptions of the themes too much, because the point is for you guys and gals to figure out what it means for you.
Rules:
Ending Date: June 30th
This isn't a competition, just a themed assignment for those who wish to participate. The only reason there is a due date is to keep the thread from going on and on. Feel free to PM me with options for other themes.
Constructive Criticism
The point of limiting criticism to Constructive Criticism to to keep people from just going "wow, your photo sucks" without offering a means for improvement. You could go "The composition just isn't doing it for me, maybe try moving the subjects face to the left a few inches." It would also nice and helps people receive CC better if you balance a negative with a positive such as "Well the lighting is nice, but the composition just isn't doing it for me, maybe try moving the subjects face to the left a few inches." or "I like the composition overall, but the busy background distracts me from the subject's face.'

^^^^^ What beautiful pics! Is the last one a Fuschia?
Oh and Matt, I love how gritty yours is. Yay, I'm giving feedback, go Marit
In the meantime, here is one from me for the 'travel' theme. Taken while spelunking recently in Cave Junction, Oregon...its of the inside of the cave, if that wasn't clear. Once again taken with my Nikon D90, Nikkor 18-105mm lens
