Good Lord! This is wonderful!!! This is why I like this place. Why I like every place where they make room for free thinking and soaring imagination. Thank you.

Yes indeed. Such a beautiful unassuming thing, which is of course the point. But what really grabs me by my constitutional amendments is the tulip-shaped escapee in the wall plaster. There's even a space below, where it escaped from. It made me think of Le Ballon Rouge, one of my favourite-ever whimsies. Thank you.

Best shot I've seen of air show action. What makes this one really singular is the setting: in a suburban street. That's a really inspired alternative to the usual 'Blue Angels shot' foreground of fat people in horrific shorts. Although maybe the awful shorts would actually be more arty? Not for me thought; I think this is a wonderful photograph, and easily my favourite air show photo ever. Thank you.

Memory of a Shell

Simple but beautifully described by its title. It is, at least for me, this ability to couple a thought with an image that is one of the most reliable indicators of art. The thought might be expressed in a title, as here, or in some less explicit way. But it's the combination of the two that shares the artist's inspiration. Your thought here is so deceptively obvious, but quite perfect: perfectly illustrated in one direction, perfectly described in the other. A lesson in economy and clarity. Thank you.

No Time For "Goodbye"

So often in photography the real decisive moment is actually the frame before, or the frame after, THE moment that most photographers would think of as the perfect one. Something about to happen, or as in this case something that has just happened. That's a wonderful thing about photography as a medium: you can depict the 'moment-and-a-half' so well. You never see a painting or a sculpture (or a novel or a poem) that offers its audience a view of an event that's apparently so negligently depicted as to be almost missed, and get away with it. The complete bird is all the better illustrated in your picture by not being complete. The viewer soars with the bird here, which is much more fun and inspiring than is sitting around pecking a few seeds. The texture is apt enough too; it is a subliminal nudge for the viewer in the direction of perfect imperfection. And yet, the photographic rendering of the bird's tail feathers is actually quite high-fidelity. Which proves as well that you don't have to be blurry to be artistic! Here it's the concept that's 'blurry', intentionally so, and to great effect. Lovely photograph. Thank you.
