the thimble collector
by krnodil

Comment:
I honestly didnt get what you tried to convey here. Is it:

- that the thimble provide safety for thumbs when sewing?

or

- that the thimbles are mostly made out of the US these days and pretty much identically so there is no point collecting them anymore?

If it is the former, why is the actor/actress sitting holding her head?
If it is the latter, where does safety come into picture?

If it was not for this confusion, I would have rated this one pretty high. It will still get a high score from me owing to a great technical shot.

This one is more on a funny side compared to many others. I must say very good for the thought itself. The execution could have been better IMO. Example: the whole frame is almost flat, a bit more contrast would have helped.

Good shot. The frame could be composed a bit more dramatically I feel.

Safe and Secure?

Nice thought! This has to be unique, although I still have to go through more pictures. Perhaps a little better white balance would help? How about desaturating it, and cropping so the second dog isnt seen?

I like the prominent red in the frame. I wouldnt change the camera angle also. Still there is something missing which will pop the subject out a bit more?

Another top choice makes it to the ribbon stand! Congratulations!

This time it was our Irene without the drops, still a champ:-) Although someone still recognized her from the shot. Good job.

Very interesting theme. Unique. The techniques could have been a tad better I think.. esp. the contrast (I know my entry misses these strengths too:-).
