Lemon Drop

A still life that has verve. It's also, besides being a wonderful traditional still life, amusing and has a trajectory. The yellow, blue, green and terra cotta are symphonic. The lizard on the branch is wonderful, boosting the charm factor even further. My favorite part of the image is the bottle, so delicately colored, and with a translucent solidity that's almost visceral. Transcends the genre.

St Martin's in the Fog

Comment:
Agatha Christie territory. The fog seems to loosen up time, a blanket of memory and possibility. I like how much space is devoted to it. The gold onion dome in the lower right keeps drawing the eye, a curious feint of attention, deepening the sense of disorientation.

Sunny and fun. Great execution of a clever idea. Blue carries the day. They must tickle.

Bay of Bengal

Terrific balance in its entirety, the people as they come and go, and the boats and ships serenely moored. No rushing along, scurrying out of the frame. Matter-of-fact beauty. So much to teach us.
One of two personal favorites in the challenge.

Lovely image, painterly and hinting. Fine composition. The overlay, or whatever, is quite effective. I like how the yellow predominates, a suffusion of hazy sunlight. Like walking into a dream.

The beauty of the "ordinary" is so often overlooked.

Lovely offset geometry. Wonderful lightness of touch, and that slice of sky. A calm, soothing image. Good medicine for a troubled soul.
