Vanity and Browsing

One of my daughters caught using the reflection in her phone as a looking glass



I could not resist this one of my son and the cat browsing.



And a finger portrait

Re: Vanity and Browsing

I like 'em all mate. The middle one is my favorite though. Cat education is vital!

Re: Vanity and Browsing

Thanks Chelseablue. How on earth did they get a cat to bat water like that. He'sbetter trained than my kids.

Colin, It took a while for me to get that one (doh). In fact I initially thought you had forgotten the image...I am too tired

Nah, this is SOoooo easy, just take one kitten, put it next to a gently running tap (so it doesn't get splashed) and hey presto, get your camera out.

We've got one that is grown up now that would still do it given a chance, but she'll also try to lick the spout when thirsty in the night, which didn't seem too hygenic, so we discourage it now.

Training children is MUCH harder, if anyone cracks that, do let me know

PS I love that cartoon, I should take it to work, as I often do think outside ..., but not for those reasons I hasten to add

Hi Wirefox,

I really like the first and third images! Very artsy! I think you made the right call going b/w, and did a very good job with the conversion. The second image is alright - more of a P&S in my opinion. It would have done better in a different thread - dosn't stack up against the other two very well.

I agree with Kent.

I like the 1.st and the 3.ed very much. Both have a shallow DOF and the idea is interesting.

Thank you for posting.

Re: Vanity and Browsing

Cheers for the positive comments. I agree about No2. "Its a bit random" as my daughters would say. I only included the cat to attract Bridgette back....anyone else miss her?
