Photo Challenge SIMPLICITY


Donna from her interesting blog Cottage Days and Journeys hosts a Photo Challenge once a month.
This month the challenge is simply

SIMPLICITY

We were supposed to choose three photos,
 I am sorry,
I have done my usual thing and couldn't decide which three!

I have found this challenge easier, because I usually try to focus closely onto the main subject,
or usually end up editing photos to cut out all the extra data not needed.
I guess I have caught using this trick from watching other bloggers and photographers,
and the way they present their photos.

So click on Donna's  photo challenge blog to join in,
or to view the blog posts by the other entrants.

A Thank you to Donna for all the hard work you put into your photography
and for sharing your tips, 
and for starting this Challenge.
I hope you enjoy visiting all the other participants, from tonight on.

These are wonderful! The one that stole my heart was the close-up B&W of your grandson. Awesome! The little crumbs on his chin, the winsome look, the soulful eyes with long lashes and tucked underneath a circular brim - all compelling components that draw a viewer into the shot. They are all lovely, but you can take a special curtsy on that one!

LOL, you are quite forgiven on offering up more than three. The challenge police aren't going to pull you over and right you a ticket or anything, hahaha. I'm so glad that you enthusiastically jumped into the challenge, and that's what matters!

And I deeply appreciate such lovely words of thanks to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You know, I had to do a lot of contemplation about whether I wanted to devote the time and energy to this task. I waffled quite a bit! But I ultimately decided that it needed to be done. If I can help just one person get inspired and catch the learning bug, then I will consider it a success! I'm throwing pebbles out into the water and hoping that the ripples will reach someone else.

Love the beach scene................Australia has such beautiful ones. The orange Gerbera daises in front of the microwave is very interesting.........and of course kids always make delightful subjects - can't go wrong there.

Thanks for stopping by Annie.
Happy weekend - Mary
