They're all outstanding. I'd retake them on fresh snow, with a decorated tree to the side.
Ralph,
What are you doing up so early?
And don't use that "four letter" word!
Rob
Second from top Rob, they are all good! Have fun, KB
All are great, but #2 or #4 would be my choice. I do like the idea of the "4 letter word" and the tree!! HA HA HA ----or should I say "HO HO HO!!!!....Chip
I like the one with everyone in the car. It looks like Santa's sleigh.
A half foot of frozen white precipitation, family dressed as Santa and Elves in car; and Holly's horses, with antlers, harnessed to the front of the car.
I'll go along with Keith, second from top.
Now I like the 3rd one with snow on the ground, a tree in the back and everyone bundled up in period attire.
A little photoshop magic and you have time traveled.
But that's just me.
4 (shows car better!) and 2.
The first one but take it so the radiator shows, I like the dogs in the picture they are a part of the family. The formatting of the picture is always determined by the card company so you can't have one that is too wide and not too tall.
You can make the picture as wide as you want and then photoshop the wording in for yourself. You don't have to use the car companies formatting.
Definitely 2 or 4. That give you a choice. Or you could retake number 1 standing closer to the car (or everybody, dogs included, in the car).
Re do the first one with a Santa hat, elf costumes and antlers on the dogs. That sleigh looks perfect!
IMHO, TH
2nd from the top is my choice.
Rob,
They are all quite good, nice colors, well exposed and sharp. If I was taking the photos I would have included the car in the background for effect but made the people stand out at the primary subject of the photo. The depth of field can be controlled to make the family pop but still have the same effect with the car and nice fall colors. Something like:
Jim
#2...I like Jim's rendition.
Bob
I like #3 as it shows a very happy family and the entire car without any part of the car being blocked from view. Only thing missing is the two furry members of the family. If they were in the car with you, it would be perfect, but I can understand that claws and seats are not necessarily compatible and definitely a very real consideration. Jim Patrick
I prefer a scene like this:
As long as it's you, and not me.
When I see a man with problems like this, it just breaks my heart! Every one of those photos is a winner, but #1 leaves a little blank room in the grass below the car for a greeting. Maybe something like...
1st&4th
I like both the Jim and Bob version, but agree all are grand. Never to early to wish all a great Christmas.
I like the ones of you taken at Hershey when you were buzzin' around the corral. But, I'd pick the one that shows the car, people and pups.
I vote #2.......it's a Christmas card first....not a car show......
Rob, I agree with Bob, you have to have the dogs because they are a part of your family. Picture #1 with space for a greeting looks fantastic!
Nice car ,but since this is the Model T Forum I would much rather see a Model T
-Don
Don, should we use this one again?
YES
-Don
Rob:
The picture immediately above of you and your family and your Model T is not appropriate for this thread, as you have clearly identified the thread in the title as "off topic." Since posting a picture of your T is very much on topic, it should have been the subject of a different and "on topic" thread.
Please get with the program and stop causing trouble......
Timothy
ps - where are those character faces when you need them???
pss - with the way the stars appear to be aligning, I don't think I will be able to join you in Florida next week..... bummer
Not too shabby either! I know it's tough to have to choose!!!
#2. And I'm not crazy about Jim's rendition. If you think it's necessary to blur something, blur Rob and let those beautiful women and that beautiful car stand out. Sorry Rob, I just had to take a shot.
Y'all are aware this is all done on December 21st? I wouldn't even bother with a tree this year.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Number 2 or take another pic like it with the family closer to the camera and include the dogs.
As stand-alone compositions, #2 and #4 are best. With text added as in Bob's suggestion, definitely #1.
Park both the T and K at an angle facing one another you folks get in front of them use the same pose as with the 09 ...
#3
wow very nice pictures..
Thanks guys..Tim, your right , "I was for OT before I was against it".
Bob, I like the way you used that space for the message. In fact, may I use that one???? . Great idea.
Thanks again guys. I'll send a memo to my supervisors (the three blondes pictured) with your suggestions.
Rob
How do blonde jokes go over at your house, Rob?
Years ago I received a perfect email from a gal from a post I had made on a Forum. She wrote, "Not all blonds are dumb."
I replied, "If you weren't dumb, you would be able to spell (blonde)."
Ralph,
Blonde jokes go over about like you'd expect at my house. If a blonde is telling the joke, it's funny, if not, not so much.
(I see "thread drift coming )
Rob
With all that Blonde hair, there must be some Lutefisk around! Egads, even the dogs are blonde!
Ricks, Blonde jokes wouldn't go so well there--you'd have to spend too much time explaining them!
T'
David D.
(Who was born blonde, but it darkened when I became a teenager--odd, because that's the age when most kids lose their intelligence!--My younger sister, however is still blonde and taller than me.)
Rob - Once in awhile, a guy needs some way to score a point or two at home when he's in trouble, you know, like being absorbed in old Ford activities in your shop and not paying enough attention to the time and being late for some prior commitment made to one or more of those beautiful blondes of yours. Well, here's a blond joke that might help to get you out of such a "jam":
Question - Why are there so many blonde jokes?
Answer- So that there are some jokes that men can
understand!
(Those blondes of yours will love you forever for giving them a good "come-back" to future blonde jokes that they fall victim to.)
David,
Ah yes, that Scandinavian delicacy, fish burritos (without seasoning). As my kids would say, "that's just sick and wrong" .
Rob
My Brother-in-law will not allow my sister (a blonde) to go hunting with him since he hears the joke about the blonde hunting with her husband. He had a heart attack and fell to the ground, so the blonde called 911 (it was on speed dial because she could not find 11 on the key pad) and when the emergency operator answered, she blurted out, "my husband just had a heart attack, I think he is dead!" The operator replied, "let's make sure he is dead first" and the next think the operator heard was a gun shot, then the blonde came back on and said "OK, he is dead for sure, now what?"
While we're at it (I can do this, I started the thread.....)
A blonde kept after her husband to take her deer hunting. Finally,,after years of begging (nagging) he relented.
So, first day of the season, he puts his wife in a deer stand in a terrible location, near the road, a high traffic trail that no self respecting buck would be seen on. He left her with her rifle and a walkie, and said don't call unless you shoot something.
Then he went on to his stand in a much more secluded area and waited for that big buck.
After a short while, he heard a shot, and his wife excitedly yelled over the talkie, "I got one, come quick.
In disbelief, the husband hurried back to his wife, and as he came closer, to his horror, he saw his wife pointing her rifle at a game warden, who had his hands raised as if to surrender.
As he came closer, he heard his blonde wife yell ,it's my deer,I shot it first! Then he heard the game warden yell back, OK, OK lady, it's your deer. Just let me get my saddle off it......
I don't think Holly would be amused by that last one, what with her horses.
Ralph,
That's why WE won't tell her....
Rob
Rob,
you need to practice and take a few upside down pictures- remember ?
Regards,
Bede
