My No 1

A quick break from the Welsh editing (which has taken a backseat along with much else) to catch up with last week's dogwood challenge, before I get two weeks out of sync.

This was supposed to be a technical challenge, and I don't think I tackled it in a way that I learned new technical skills. I know it could be improved massively with better lighting and sharper focus. Anyway, the challenge was 'product' - a shot worthy of the front of a magazine.

Can someone let me know when they have discovered the 28 hour day (I think that should just about do it).

Ah well, sigh and move on ....

I think this is excellent Helen. At first I thought it was an advertising shot. As for the 28 hour day - I'm afraid I can't give you any help there.

maybe you are taking on too much dear!
anti-gravity spray comes to mind, great perfume shot worthy of vogue!

[FBailey]

I like this a lot, the pearls add that extra touch.

[Peter Dulis]

looks like it belongs in a magazine - well done !

[Jane Martin]

Fab magazine spread! It passes the test. I too could do with a 28 hour day. I'm two hours late for bed now. Must go up the wooden hill now!

[Suzanne]

I really like the angle. 28 hour days sound good to me, and then you can just skip Mondays

[Helen Jane]

@suzanne234 what a great idea!

[Maggiemae]

I really like this - the one colour outstanding (literally!) fav

[Ethel]

Excellently conceived and executed. As for a 28 hour day, it is only in retrospect that I can see the things I could have done differently with only 24 hours.

[Taffy]

Interesting product shot that keeps the product front and center, but creates interest in the diagonal approach.

Great pov, a super image. Fav!! 😀

[Jane Armstrong]

I am a big fan of Liz Earle and honestly thought this was an 'ad'. I scrolled down and then thought how could it be. But it SO could be. Excellent. Just like Cleanse and Polish 😉

[Janet B.]

I think you did a great job with your product shot! Your diagonal really catches the eye, and I love the addition of the pearls!

[Janet B.]

P.S. I, too, would love a 28-hour day. Please let me know if you find the secret!

[Granagringa]

I'm ok with the 24 hour day....but I sure don't have 24 hour energy or motivation!

I like the angle you shot this at...and not an easy subject for lighting.

[Rosie Kind]

I think this is a brilliant shot and would grace the cover of any magazine Fav

I really don’t think there would ever be enough hours in the day
