Friday Fun

I love art. I love photography. Photography is art. One of the best things about art is that it evokes different feelings for different people. Mark and I stayed up late last week watching a PBS program on Pablo Picasso, our faces grimaced, smiled and cringed throughout the presentation and it was interesting discussing what we liked and didn't like.

So, it's not surprising that many of the photos I would consider my favorite are not yours and visa versa. The reasons vary....and I love it. I am mostly drawn to color (but duly note I stand in awe of those who can do an amazing b&w conversion...something I am trying to learn!). I love vibrant, bright colors, but lately find myself loving raw cool tones....either way, I love color in and of all things. At my bridal shower one of the games played was answering questions asked to Mark....or answer how I thought HE would answer it. The question, "Kim's favorite color?" The answer, "All Colors".....yes, Mark answered correctly!

So please if you will, indulge me. Which photo are you drawn to? Let's have a vote! Each one is changed subtly (or not so subtly) from the original...which colors captures your eye? Even you lurkers, feel free to join in....you can be anonymous when leaving your comment! There is no wrong answer, this is art!

I like #4 because it looks the most realistic to me. #1 looks too glowy, #2 is too red, #3 was my second favorite - I like the crisp contrast but it looks a little saturated - and #5 doesn't look like realistic colors at all to me. This should be interesting to see what others like.

I like #1, I tend to like the bright over exposed look but with alot of contrast, which this one has. I like #3 because it looks the like the perfect picture, in all tones. And I like #5 for the blue tone, it gives it an artistic look.

But I am always in love with black and white pictures, maybe because I can't pull any of those things off that I mentioned I liked in these pictures.

Currently, I like the soft colors, even if it is a bright color made soft...SO #4 wins!

Normally I prefer the RAW looking shots, but for this, because of the white background maybe, I prefer number one. I also like number five because it looks very artsy -- again not what I normally would like, but I think it is the background.

For some reason...I like #3 the best...no reason, just preference. It's hard though...they all look great.

Number 5 for me. Maybe subconsciously I was persuaded by your talk about loving color! :) Ang

#3 first caught my eye- so hard to decide the longer I look at each of them!

I love No. 5. It reminds me of the colors of the ocean.

I like number 4. I must be in a muted mood today. Very Rustic American.
