Friday and another weekly photo challenge! After a little back and forth I’ve changed the background & the header image of the blog. I wasn’t sure if I should use a bright background and a dark font, but as you can see I ended up with a dark background and a bright font. Hopefully this will help to highlight the images.
I hope my readers will either like/love, or at least accept the new look. The theme I am using is Chateau by Ignacio Ricci (if you like the theme you can read more about it in the link section).
Happy weekend everyone!

Header is great. Always nice to change things up once in awhile.
Good DOF with the portrait shoot. Side light works well.
Thanks Rick.
I felt the time was right to do some minor changes in the blog.
Makes for an emotional shot that sharpness just wouldn’t have achieved…
I guess you’re right: with full sharpness the mood of the photo would have been totally different.
Love it! The photograph and the new look 🙂
Thank you Miles. I have the same theme, but I changed the background and the main header.
Soft and beautiful Cardinal! Love it!
Glad you like it Madhu! Thanks for stopping by & commenting.

Love the photo and the new theme is cool too!
Thank you Mrs Gee.
New site theme is lookin’ good! Nice flip on this week’s challenge too!
Thanks Suburbia. I still have the same theme, I only changed the background and the main header – so the looks are old, but new.
Ah, but the beauty is that it ALL looks new and fresh.

Love the photo … it has a very nice mood/atmosphere to it!
It’s fun to change theme every now and then … I recently changed to «Origin». This looks very good.
Thanks Reb.
your theme looks very good: clean and nice. I was thinking about changing the theme completely, but then all the header images wouldn’t fit so I decided to keep the theme I had.

Love the light/shadow on her face. It’s a beautiful portrait Cardinal.
I also like this portrait. Thanks for the positive feedback Anette!
This is a cool theme for you 😀 Gives you a gothic look! The girl is beautiful 🙂
Thank you Paula. Gothic is good; just that little touch of darkness.
I liked your entry for the challenge.
sexy!
Alright!

I like how her face is so still, but the background appears full of movement.

Thanks Anne 🙂

I’m always a fan of a darker background with lighter text, they say it’s more eco-friendly too because it uses less power than a light background with dark text so that’s something to think about too 😉 over all it looks very good! The picture is great too, very warm and endearing.
Thanks Miss SMC.
Yes, that’s true: it’s more eco-friendly with a dark background.
I’m trying to make sure my blog has a low carbon-footprint 😀
I like the shot and I do like the new look, now that I have a chance to catch up on my blog e-mail.
I’m a bit behind on my blog email too: there’s a lot of new posts that I haven’t been able to check out yet… Glad you had time to stop by my blog and comment and that you like the new look 🙂
