Leanne Cole runs an open Monochrome event each week and each month she chooses a theme. This time her daughter Klara suggested knives. Leanne widened this out to anything beginning with ‘K’. Other suggested subjects for the letter ‘K’: kite, kitchen, kick, kiss, kitten ……… any others?
But I had already thought of these knives as I love the way the light catches the twisty handles.
Sunlight on blade
But which photograph should I submit? I think I like this second one best where the knives look suspended,
Suspended
On one of our girlie shopping trips before my daughter was married we spied this cutlery glinting in a shop window. We both love anything that sparkles, so I bought her a canteen of this design for her wedding present, and then bought a canteen for myself as well. (I miss those girlie days! We’ll have to wait till her children are older before we can revive them)
So – which photo do I choose…….
Diagonal
Top and Tail
….. I have looked at them too long …..
Odd one out
…… and like saying the same word over and over again, when it begins to lose meaning and sounds daft, I can’t make my mind up.

HELP! Which one do you think I should enter into this month’s Monochrome Madness?
Here is a link to Leanne’s page with all the other fabulously creative entries.
Thanks to Rainbow Junkie for introducing me to this brilliant photography blog.

I think the first one as I like the way the blades glint in the light, and also the dark shadows right at the bottom.
I also like the ‘top and tail’ pic, Those knives are really lovely, and what a wonderful story of how you came about them, shopping with your daughter 🙂

Thank you Edwina, I thought the first one at first but then ……. it is so helpful to hear what your fresh eye thinks – that’s 2 votes for that one, so that’s the one I will send!
We both had a canteen thinking that if either of us had a large party we could combine cutlery – since then she has had 3 children, little time for parties nowadays! apart from Christenings of course – but they tend to be tea parties https://daffodilwild.wordpress.com/2013/07/22/cake-stand-required/

I like the top one best as you really get the blades catching the light, especially the one on the right and I like the blobby shadows you get at the end of the handles. This one also has the best contrast.
