Good one Hyram. I like the regular vs organic patterns and the little dots are nicely graphic. A square crop would work well I think.

I think you are probably right about the square crop. I opted for the portrait version originally to retain the dark horizontal band at the top.

I was about to put the camera away yesterday evening, when it occurred to me that the sun and shadow on the kitchen blind might be an interesting shot.

Good observation, Hyram. I think I prefer the portrait format.

Best regards

Hyram,

Hipperty must be so proud of you - it's carrot coloured!

A good point, but I think Hipperty is too busy at the moment judging the Fortnightly Competition, so expect 'orange' entries to do well

A strong graphic shot Hyram, like it a lot! (It does look very familiar though, have you posted a photo of this blind before?)

Definitely an original posting - we only bought the blind a week ago
