Mar 25 - Old stuff

Fascinating old building and other structures. The upcoming Abandoned Buildings challenge is in your crosshairs. I like that you can see every brick, such a sense of presence. The composition, though not straightforward, is balanced yet still dynamic. The sepia tone works well. To cap it off, literally, are the two birds and the aerial, though the latter may actually be behind the building. The aerial is strange, looking like a car antenna, which confusingly seems to shrink the rest of the image to maintain relative size. I like it all.

I applaud your creative composite, but in the long run I like the image without him so much that I don't see the point. It's dreamy and gentle, with a dynamic relationship between the boy and the sailboat. Of course this is just a subjective take.

Very fine image, creative and captivating. The composition is interesting, kind of a starburst. The elevator walls are a subtle frame within the frame. I like the funky processing and the canvas layer. I like you in the picture, and the quirky but effective retention of the orange in your shirt. The only thing I'm not keen on is the line through the center, which I guess is a joint in the ceiling mirror. Yet, it's at a rakish angle, which helps. All around great fun.

Nice tropical feel with lovely colors. The hanging frond is the perfect imperfection that gives the image character.

Wonderful title, sparkling image. The symmetry is not insistent, and is easy on the eyes. The overlapping whites and greens on the bottom make an interesting pattern. The white flowers make a luxuriant necklace. I like how you cultivate your garden.

A constellation of stamens in the snowy sky. Beautiful, emotional blues in the gentle background. How the buds in the background suffuse into the blue bokeh is a wonder. The flower, extended on its branch, is a welcome offering. Nice.

Fine image, then the bouquet is pulled out of your sleeve -- one person, almost, becomes two shadows. Standing ovation! This is really neat. And it's done so adroitly. As I first mentioned, the overall image is impressive -- handsome sky, sea, beach, headland. The title, drawn from Don's poem, is one of the best I've seen put to a photograph.

Overflowing with happiness, and I'm happy just to be privileged to share it here. You've captured the moment exquisitely. The lighting showcases the intimacy. Wonderful image.

Terrific still life, full of glowing, beautiful colors. That it's slightly off-balance is all to the better, as it avoids a sterile symmetry. Nice composition and framing. And oh so mouth-watering.
