Challenge 167: Spoon
So…run away with it! I figured not too many folk have photos already stored on this subject, be it noun or verb, singular or plural. So get to work and fork….err, rather spoon it over. And for you new folk, who just bought a camera, here is your chance to get in on the fun. This levels out the playing field for the new guy. I hope we all get a generous serving of contributions.
What an odd subject to suggest, spoon. I did my homework, you know? I went back through the challenges that took place here long ago. I thought the idea of a basic form, would force the photographer to make something out of the ordinary. I think we can all agree that was accomplished here. The spoon is the first tool we master. As infants and children, we fumbled with them, dropped them, and made a mess with them. The camera let's us show we've moved beyond; I mean, heaven-forbid we should ever drop our camera.
First place: rpolitsr - We've all been there when that spoon catches that flow from the faucet, sending the water back on ourselves, leaving us with embarrassing wet fronts. The photo is full of fancy...the water is captured in the same light as the spoon, sink and pitcher; they all belong together. I enjoyed what was going on.
Second place: Boutty - Out of the box, man! Half spoon...half rollercoaster model. The entire family enjoyed this one. Very cool.
Third place: Marie - So shrewd are you... to bring the colors of spring warmth to a judge so eager to see the greenery return to his own neighborhood. The photo with its paint effect is indeed nectar to the eyes.
Outstanding job, everyone. I hope the challenge was enjoyable to all. Thank you!
