Day three and more tears and frustration! This is to be expected as I slowly work through the combinations of photographs that work well together as a portfolio. I am now on the 5th iteration and I think I am finally getting somewhere.
You have to submit 15 prints around a theme - no problem there. However, they have to be a coherent display rather than 15 great shots of birds. this is where it gets more difficult. You have to display the prints in three rows, so that is 3 rows of 5 or twos rows of 7 with one on its own - balance being the key here - I have chosen 3 rows of 5. The first row is about flight, the second about small birds that you might find in your garden or local park. These have been settled and work well. The third rows is the one that is causing the real problem.
This is about breeding and the circle of life. So I want to capture the courtship, nesting, chicks and death with these prints. Boy has this been difficult and I am still not finished - just how do you capture the circle of life in five prints that hanging together in some coherent whole? Well I am still working on that but I feel I am getting close. However, the whole thing could collapse and I could be jibbering wreck crouched in the corner. Oh the joys of trying to get a distinction!
