I need advice.









OK, our friends just bought a cottage, and they are in the process of redoing it. SO far it's absolutely beautiful. So they invited us up for the weekend, and as a thank you I thought I would take some photos of both people, and things I saw outside the cottage, and have some of the pics framed or put onto canvas as a thank-you/cabin-warming gift. So now it's decision time. If they use these in the cabin, the predominant colors are red, yellow, blue, and green. They also have this gorgeous pine, stained a warm yellowish color.

So my question is this. Which pics would you choose, and in what size, to make a grouping? I'm thinking I want three photos together. I'm open to more or less. I was going for some shots that I thought were abstract, and you'd have to look hard to see what it was, and some that are more obvious. Now I don't know what the heck to do.

Here are the choices. The colorful images are the old crouet set the girls were playing with. That's the color of the wood in the cabin. Be harsh, I can take it.

It's been too long . . .

And I have been taking photos. Why am I not posting them? Well, I suppose lazy is the real answer.

I took these last night . . . I lugged my tripod, and then got SO frustrated with it, I just held my camera like I did last year. Tried some in manual, and um, yeah, they didn't work. I did get some with a slow shutter speed, but I like the clearer pics better. Hope you like them!
