“Two Subjects”. That’s the inspiration for this week’s photo challenge from WordPress. This “theme” is more of a composition challenge, than the usual single themes we’re used to post about. Let’s see how this week’s compositions turn out… mix of natural and man-made two-subject themes…

I love the contrast between the shells and the twigs – smooth, linear, and light strings of shells against the rough, round, and dark twigs. Also, the sunset photo of the 2000 Jubilee is beautiful!

What a wonderful collection on the two subjects theme. The hippo made me smile … and was a nice contrast to the architectural shots. Thanks for sharing!

Everyone loves the hippo! It’s from an earlier post (part of the Brennand Museum Gardens (http://3rdculturechildren.com/2012/04/02/gardens-sculptures-brennand/). Thanks for taking the time to read and share your thoughts…

Love them all but am particularly captivated by the dome and the cross. The lighting is spectacular!

Thank you, Sunshine! The hippo picture is from the Brennand Museum & Castle, [http://3rdculturechildren.com/2012/04/02/gardens-sculptures-brennand/] here in Recife, Brazil… we went on a visit recently, with another expat family, and kids fell in love with the place! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you very much, Aylet! It’s great to see different opinions, different tastes… that’s exactly what photography should do: inspire distinct feelings/impressions on people… Thanks for your thoughts!

You are welcome. The colors are so vibrant and the textures in the fourth one with the hay like ornaments are intriguing.

Good subjects. The last picture looks like wax people.

That’s exactly what they are, Connie! They’re live-size pictures from the Brennand Museum, in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil… here is one of the posts on the museum & castle: http://3rdculturechildren.com/2012/04/02/gardens-sculptures-brennand/
And, you’re right about the dolls: They look “scarily real”…

I’m about as far from a religious person as you can get, but I love the second photo. The composition and lighting are captured quite well.
Jeff Sinon
April 13, 2012 at 7:41 pm
But I suppose being religious or not has nothing to do with a good photo does it?
3rdCultureChildren
April 13, 2012 at 7:51 pm
Absolutely… I myself have beautiful photos of mosques in Mozambique, muslin ladies (Mozambique Island), Indonesian ceremonies, catholic events… a good photograph should transcend social/religious barriers, right?
Jeff Sinon
April 13, 2012 at 8:39 pm
Exactly! It’s all about the art. I feel sorry for people who can’t see that.

I totally agree! The intention was not religious… but I loved the image of the old church (2nd plane) with the Jubilee Cross in front of it (1st plane)… really liked the composition… Thanks for sharing your impressions, Jeff!
