Tiebreak time!

It could have gone either way, but I think Xstreme's photo takes it for the spontaneity.

I bet it's attractive ladies.

ah right, apologies I'm a little late, almost missed this.

This months theme is 'attractive ladies'.

Actually, sorry Fil, it's really not.

I'm going to try and get this months competition to help me out a little. Help me out in that I need ideas I can perhaps incorporate into an ongoing job I've taken on. A job which is well outside my photographic 'comfort zone'. Primarily I'm a 'people' photographer, portraits, wedding, engagement, that type of thing. However I had a client contact me who liked my 'people photos' and wondered if I could photograph a series of.............cute, little eco friendly apartments throughout the city. They all have a different style and it's my job to try and capture that in the photos.

Example: the first apartment was very light and airy. Lots of white, minimalist decor with a modern feel. Of course when she asked me if I'd be interested in taking on the job I said 'yeah, sure, I can do that'. Some samples below from the first shoot. The samples I've attached use nothing but natural light.

For the other apartments I've currently no idea what I'll be walking into as yet.

Therefore this month I'll choose the theme as Your Living Space (or working space). I'm looking for interesting composition, nice use of light (natural or artificial), perhaps make the image highlight some particular, interesting detail? Generally nice, simple, clean well exposed images. Imagine you've been asked to shoot your place by a client - what would you deliver to them?

I need all the help I can get on this one so thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to enter.
