Weekly Photo Challenge – One Shot, Two Ways

I learned a lot from this challenge.  There was no difficulty at all in identifying potential ‘portrait’ shots; the majority looked fairly interesting.

But when I came to choose a horizontal shot, it was amazing how critical the eye became, principally because it really wanted to see the shot vertically.  So to capture the right horizontal photo, it became necessary to adopt a more abstract approach:

I still think it would look better vertically though.  🙂

PS:  My husband had to help me with this week’s submission, not the least by letting me actually hold his ‘posh’ camera.  Mwah!
