All nice shots, Christine. Now you're cookin'! :)
Just a couple of thoughts, if I may: The flower shot needs a little more contrast; the sleeping child needs just a tad more bokeh in the background. No criticism, Christine, just my personal thoughts. :) Nice work, girl. :)

Christine, nice shots! You are doing so well in such a short time. I think you can start getting a little "gutsier" in post processing. Start going for some more "pop"! :cool:

Keep up the excellent work!

I like the teddy bear. Really good detail.

I'm going to throw some "inspiration" your way, or at least give you some ideas.

1. Your boys are willing and lovely models. Stage some things with them. They don't always have to be looking at the camera or facing it. Think photojournalism. Have one of them walk down the sidewalk and take a pic of him walking away from you, or looking back over his shoulder and waving to you. If the weather is bad, have one of them looking out the window and use the natural light. Have all your boys gather around a lit candle and snap a photo. There are tons of possibilities with your kids . . . what could be more inspirational? I love the "sleeping child" one.

2. Start thinking in terms of "story" e.g. nice shot of the teddy bear --whose is it and what significance does it have. What if you combined the teddy bear with the sleeping child in a new photo, include a little more foreground or background, have the teddy bear in focus and child out of focus, or vice versa. Now you've got the teddy bear in some kind of context.

3. Keep the spirit of "play" and "experimentation" --that's the purpose of this 365 project -- at least that's what is important for me. Your photography is an extension of you, so maybe the way to think of each day is, "OK, what of myself, will I present the world today!"

Hope this helps a little.

GREAT advice Helene!

I second that!

Its early on yet for me, and i too have been struggling a bit...but that's because I over think everything. So be careful not to do that either.

This is so late as Rick and I went out for the night and did not get home til late. I bought this gift for a friend who loves Jiminy Cricket. I just had to take a picture of him because he is just too darn cute.

Well as you all can see I did not get a photo off last night. I was so busy with housework and visiting with a friend that I could not think of something. I am tired of being cooped up in the house, so I am gonna try this over again in a week or so but experiment with the camera, and shots that I create. If I can get some good shots this week then I will start it over. Until then I will be checking the board and staying active with shooting, and commenting on the board. I appreciate all of your support and your wonderful comments on my photos that has helped me a lot.

I love this shot Christine. It's almost impossible to know the exact size of this car.. Lovely color.
Keep going. Only a few days left this year ;-)
