Week 84 Photo Challenge: Feminine

I actually put some thought into this week's challenge, but I'm not sure my photo is any better.  Grad Girl on the other hand texted back "Oh Crap" Friday morning to my text reminding her to get me her photo for the challenge.  This week's challenge wasn't an easy one.  




It's another subject that is open to a number of interpretations.  When I searched on "feminine photos", there was a lot of pink, flowers, and lacy dresses.  I remembered a box of Victorian themed thank you cards that were purchased to use for some scrap book projects. 

 

Kate: Victorian Floral


This photo has lots of pink, lots of flowers, a bit of lace design, with a few butterflies for good measure.  It's a very old fashioned representation of feminine.  

My Guy's photo this week is another classical view of femineity. 


My Guy: Veil

  

He's definitely got the lacy part of the equation covered.  I really like the detail in this close up.  This piece was a gift from my sister just before we married.  It's prominently displayed in our china cabinet. 

Grad Girl was already at school when I sent my text.  Obviously she'd forgotten the challenge (not surprising, she is busy with the first week of the fall semester).  She went with a much more modern interpretation of the week's theme. 


Grad Girl : Women in STEMware

 

I had to laugh when this showed up as a text with the label "feminine body types".  Being honest, my figure is most like the round bottomed flask. If she'd have included a Mohr pipette that would have represented the tall thin body type.  Even with that omission, she definitely gets credit for the most interesting interpretation of last week's challenge. 

So what's up next? 




A much more common photography assignment for this week.  My Guy tends to excel with these challenges.  I'll need to do some research on my approach.

Grad Girl was definitely creative with her idea this week! Love it! I imagine we all fit into one of those shapes. Your photo does have an old-fashioned feminine look, and your Guy's photo makes me want to see the whole thing. She looks beautiful!

Well, I always love all of your photos, but I'm afraid Grad Girl wins this round. Very clever.

Love how everyone interprets the theme differently. Love Your Guy's photo.

GG did great! But I love your vintage interpretation, and that veil is just beautiful.
