Some of you might recall a Cup of Coffee and a Book (17), where in the comments Brian (Bushboy) and Jude suggested my positioning in the composition was ‘off’, so I first took the hump(!) then decided to have another go! After all, it keeps the brain and the creative juices going….
So what’s the verdict??

I like the way the light is caught in #17. Very bold. And sometimes ‘off’ is good. Shakes up the viewers’ perceptions too. But I love the somnalent air of #19.
The light in 17 was fab, for 19 I couldn’t get quite the same…but the balance in 19 works for me….
Glasses on the book for me. The juxtaposition of subjects and lighting makes the scene
Sorry I gave you a humph. I did mean to be critic positive. Glad you found the mojo to be creative. A lot of times I won’t just like and move on or just move on. You have a creative eye I enjoy. If everyone said that wonderful, lovely would you ever feel challenged? I try to strive to be better and sometimes I do. It’s all about focus ❤
Oh, you’re absolutely right, Brian….we need to be challenged, and I value comments, it makes me rethink. As you say, focus (and not just the lens!)
Yes I like this pointy composition
Thanks, Pauline!
Nice! Very nice!
Thanks! It’s (almost) all about the light!!
Oh yes!!! Beautiful diagonals and perfect placement of objects – well worth another go.
Yes, but I might do one more of this, or maybe use another book….
I like this one. Bu I also like seeing what book you’ve chosen.
Same one as in 17…..
It works fine for me, but then so did the other one. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
This one has more balance, for me
Enigmatic: there’s an unspoken story there with the shadow bars across the table and the book, or a metaphor about how self-isolation is imprisonment…
I’m on the roof with my phone and can’t see it well enough to judge. Will check later 😂💕
Please do, Jo!
Might be tomorrow, hon. I have a walk to construct 🙂 🙂 Sending hugs!
OK….and hugs to you!
Well firstly I apologise for giving you the humph. I try to give a positive critique when commenting otherwise I hold my own. I much prefer this composition, and I’d also like to see this with the glasses on top of the book, which is what Brian mentioned I think. I do like these vignettes of yours and the way you capture the light.
Oh, don’t apologise, Jude…it’s good to be jolted out of the comfort zone, and to use ze leeetle grey cells! Glasses on a book may come, but the diagonal placement of elements works for me in this one
Yes the diagonals are good. I hope the sun continues to shine through your window!
So do I!
I love this one. My interest in photo shoot, angles and etc grow even bigger as I have more time at home now. Good work.
Many thanks, glad you like this one!
