When life gives you a lemon by myhrhelper

When life gives you a lemon

Make lemon water, sorry I'm dieting no sugar right now.
Because I'm dieting you will have to go on this journey too.
It's been a challenge right now since the car accident a few days ago, I can't just go somewhere to take pictures, and it's cold.
So I will do what I can with it and make lemon water. It's a little plain but it could be worse!
nice shot =)

Find lots of flowers to photo, NO food shots. LOL good luck on both your journeys.

LOL! I love your description, Kathy! Too funny! Hope you're recovering from you accident - even the emotion of it can take its toll! Great pic! Very retro - reminds me of the late 60s and early 70s with that shade of green background!

@bk12racing Thank you! @httpgeffed haha, I guess I have food on my mind a bit more these days - I promise no more food shots for at least 1 month. I would love to photograph flowers, I love photographing wild flowers when in season. I will have to get some from the store. @marlboromaam Thank you! You always have encouraging things to say - thank you so much

This is a lovely shot. Now buckle down and take shots of everything that's indoors.

I recently switched to just drinking water to get rid of the caffeine in my diet. It's not easy, that is for sure :)

nice composition

Good luck with your diet, it will feel so good to achieve your goal.

I like the colors and composition

Fab color and composition! I love lemon water... I think it's way better than lemonade, especially for quenching thirst.

I also got a vintage feel from the colors...love it...and I bought lemons today too. lol

Lemon water is one of the most refreshing things to drink. Funny you should post this...I bought a notepad today that says "When life hands you lemons, make lemon meringue pie". Not good if you're trying to lose weight. HA!

nice focus and texture

Not bad at all to make "a little plain" photos. In fact, I like them. Try try leave as much away to make the pic stronger; that's what you did here! Food especially can be used to practice this, so just go on! Maybe try to push both colors, contrast and light a little in the processsing. Especially on fruit it will have great effect. Made a little example on these lemons: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8218648@N02/6639826593/in/photostream

Great colour mix in nice strong blocks - it really works with your subject too

hahahaha, like the photo and the sentiment.

I think this is beautiful. Love the diet photo. It looks good enough to... drink.

@sabanford Thank you Shirley, I really appreciate the feedback you have given! @esmeanne Thank you Ann! @rufus430 Thank you so much for your nice compliments @djepie I could really see the difference, I really appreciate this feedback. This has been something I have wondered about a lot, if I'm over saturating the colors - so this was helpful. @hjbenson I appreciate all the feedback you have provided on my photo's - thank you so much! @debsphotos Debbie that is too funny, timing is everything! I like lemon water much better than just plain water when trying to drink more water @nlaurie thank you Laurie - now I will watch for your lemon shots - lol @marilyn thank you so much, I also really appreciate the feedback from you. I'm really not a big lemonade drinker except when it's from fresh squeezed lemon's & limes in the summer and I don't like to over sugar it. @kerristephens Thank you so much for the compliments @digitalrn thank you Rick - you are very right, it will feel good to achieve the goal, I have to keep my eyes on the prize to move forward @kimmistephens thank you very much! @floriandra I didn't replace the coffee, sometimes I like coffee as my treat, but I don't drink a lot of it since I don't drink a lot of soda (pop), @swilde haha, I look like a crazy lady sometimes taking pictures of everything in the house, but then I look at other pictures on this site and feel embarrassed to post them @grammyn thank you so much for the kind words!

Actually, it has few elements, rather minimalist, but very good photography.

what anna mae @annamaker said. plus lemons are good for the body.

@annamaker @summerfield thank you for your comments, I prefer something to add flavor to water lemons, lime, tea but when it's good for you that's an added bonus.

Nice colours and light!
