Views of the Neighborhood – Time for a New Header Photo

May 6, 2018 · by · in Views of the Neighborhood · 48 Comments

It is that time of year again. I need to replace the header photo and am asking for your help. I have a poll below the photos, and if you would vote for your favorite, it will help me make the selection.

Here are the candidates.

 1. Summer afternoon

2. Summer Dawn

3. Tropical Summer Sunrise

4. Summer Morning with Coffee

5. The Jetty and Friend

The winner will be the header next week.

 

Thank you, all.

    Definitely #5! It speaks volumes about what your blog is about! About what makes it different.

    I’d choose #4. It’s a beautiful shot, and so typical of our summertime views.

    Good morning, John. Let’ me explain my choice. I choose #1 as I assume you’ll have to crop it to make it fit the proportions of your header and to my mind this pictures is best suited for that purpose. The others might lose part [or all] of their appeal.
    Have a great Sunday,
    Pit

    I voted for 3, because i like colors and foreshadowing. It might not be the right shape for your header though. Reminds me, I need to change things up too.

      I can make it work but looks like Jetty and Friend is a winner.

        I updated my site out of shame. Time for something more seasonal over there.

    Just wondering … Is the vote the decision or input? Did you consider snacks in 5 different bowls?

    1. John W. Howell · ·

      Yes it is the decision. The snacks are all corn chips. Just the bowls are different.

    Groan… I’m torn between 3and 5… Voted 5, but still not sure. This is a lovely collection, John. Whichever you choose will work wonderfully. Hugs!

    For some unknown reason I can’t see the poll results so far, but judging by the comments I’m the minority with #2 Summer Dawn. I Love that amethyst morning light, and color.

    All are lovely. I won’t mind being on the losing end to which ever image wins the vote. Looks like it’s the Pelican with a view! 🙂

    I see I went with the popular choice, John, number 5. That confirms my belief that people like a focal point in a photograph and not only a landscape. Interesting!
