Whilst in Salts Mill, I had a mooch around the antiques centre. I love it in there. It's rammed with all sorts of stuff, from expensive collector's pieces to small, inconsequential items. The varied colours in these spools of thread caught my eye and I enjoyed how the light played out: bright in the foreground and dimmer towards the back. This was a good subject for practising with a narrow depth of field.
A rack of kimonos or dressing gowns also seemed like a good potential subject but I didn't quite achieve the effect I was hoping for. On the other hand, the boxes of old vinyl records gave me the recessional effect I wanted but ended up looking just a bit messy. It was an interesting learning curve, experimenting with a wide open aperture.
I see how your "progressive/diminishing" format works so well for your objective here. Those top two show it off as well as the delightful burst of colors!
