Round Robin Photo Challenge - Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie!

I saw this when I was in Santa Fe, New Mexico and thought it would be perfect for this topic. It's not the prettiest picture in the world (all available backgrounds were terrible) but I like the statue. I call it, Gimmie Your Mail!

So funny! I especially like the way the hand has crushed the mailbox a little!

Yes Gimme, I would love that mail box.

If you put your camera on macro or portrait it often shortens the depth of field and blurs the background and gives a nice look. Steven from sometimes photoblog has perfect examples of this. Or you can do it in photoshop/elements.

LOL was it at a nail salon? It looks like Voldemort's hand to me :-)

The nails are incredible. I agree with what Kmm said about depth of field, but it's tough in bright sunlight. Sometimes to clean up a background all you need to do is shoot low and up at a subject.

Very nice!

That is what I need for my mailbox, since we sometimes have mailbox vandals around here. LOL! Great idea for the Challenge.

I played late at New Suzanne R's Life.
