Grades and Ornaments
After all your wonderful help Tuesday, I picked the two photos to submit for my test – the back of the church with the graveyard and the buggy going through the cornfield. I logged into the site, went to the page for my submissions and saw “Pick one photo of your choice.”
I was some kinda miffed. After I was instructed to take three specific types of photos they wanted me to just submit one picture? Harumph. I know; if I’d known they were only going to ask for one, I wouldn’t might not have taken as many photos as I did, and not have taken the good pictures I did. But still.
Anyhoo, I submitted the egg and whisk photo because I thought it was the most creative. Yesterday afternoon I received my grade: a 90% (I get a feeling they don’t give out 100% grades). He said it was a tad overexposed (I meant for it to be), but liked everything else about it and praised the composition highly.
Now I wish I could submit the other two; I want to know what kind of a grade I’d get on those! Oh, well.
Since I got nuthin’ else for you today, here are pics I took of some of the ornaments on our “formal” tree with my macro lens.
And because I never get tired of looking at him…
Have a lovely weekend, y’all.
Love the sparkly snowflake and I get why you take the photos of Be.
Good luck w/ this your next photo assignment!

Aw. Gorgeous. And those ornaments would make a great site background. Not that Beloved wouldn’t, of course…

Hey, 90% is fantastic, especially if they give out 100s very often!
Love the pics of your ornaments but especially love the one of your handsome hubby!

Look at that sexy handsome husband of yours.You could have him on the cover of your cookbook..better yet, he could be the centerfold…oh wait, cookbooks don’t have centerfolds do they? But, yours could be the first!

You have such beautiful ornaments! And the lights behind them really accentuate the pictures.
I know what you are saying about your Beloved. I feel that way about my DH, too

I’ve been relegated to being one of her ornaments.
Dear, you are the ULTIMATE ornament!
I love the way Beloved is the final ornament ; -)

BE- You officially an Ornamental Husband. Sort of like a “trophy wife” LOLOL
LOL – well Linda I guess it’s okay to be a sex object as long as I am not a Hood Ornament!
Like the holiday theme! I’m trying hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year, so I love the ornament photos. Nice work.

Awwww, he has that look MHS gets, “Why are you taking my picture again?”
I love all the ornaments but my favorites are the carousel horse and the reindeer.
But my all time fav is the missing one: The lamp!

I love the Bokeh you are getting with your macro lens. You’ve really become an accomplished photographer.
Oh and about that last ornament……he could look a bit happier.
p.s. did you put up the upside down tree this year?

That’s too bad you can’t submit the other two, they are fantastic. Congrats on the 90% though!
You absolutely deserved 100%!! Too bad you can’t submit the others – I bet he’d rethink that 90% on the first one…
LOVE the pics of your ornaments – a ‘formal’ tree…do you have more than one?
