Badminton lines

I had 2 minutes for photos today. I saw this racket in the garage and click...that's all you get folks! Thanks again for all the comments on my mom's garden shots from the last two days!! After that first shot I decided to contact a gardening magazine on my mom's behalf (she'd never do it herself). Well, they replied and are coming out to view the garden and maybe include it in one of their upcoming issues. I surprised her tonight with the news. She's excited!! On the house front, our concrete floors were poured today! Drywall gets delivered Friday and the boarding process starts Monday.

Incredible... love the perspective, and the distortion of the lines.

Exciting news on your mom's garden. Nice Mother's Day surprise. Love the lines in the racket. Yeah on the progress on the house! Great news, Kim, all the way around.

Exciting news on the home as well...can't wait to see the next phase of photos!!

[KWind]

@tctime I thought it would be cool if they used my shot too but the magazine has its own photographer they use.

[Ravdeep Kaur]

wow.. amazing shot.. :)

[Gena Pegg]

Really cool shot!

[Suse♡]

I relly love the datails and dof in this shot, sometimes it´s the simplest articles that make the best subject for photos. Congrats for the news, they are lucky to get such a beautiful garden to show in their magazine.

Now that is gloriously simple and effective.

Well it's nice for a quickie. I like the light in the bkg

[Frank Hymus]

Well, a nice exercise to prove that this DoF stuff isn't just someone's imagination. The house appears to be coming right along. Pouring of the concrete is a big deal! Let us know when and where your mom's garden appears in print.

[KWind]

@frankhymus I will! The magazine's photographer is coming on Tuesday.
