Perfect photo for the postcard effect, leaving lots of room to write in the sand :) Vintage and very well done.

Oh Alice, what a glorious creation this is .. the colors and the reflection grab the eye and the bird invites a longer visit .. You've given me ideas for the many bird shots I have that are too alike to be special to me .. I can change them up to something different .. now I just gotta learn how to do this stuff.

Stormy Skies

Ohh I like this .. I like that the bird is more realistic looking than the fantasy world it is escaping from .. how beautiful the trees .. the mountains are shimmery and beautiful hues of blues. Great choice of the film strip overlay too .. I hope I read more about the brushes and how to use them as the challenge goes on.

The Terrarium

Very nice indeed .. it looks like divers in murky, green water trying to swim towards the light - freedom lies behind it .. I also like what looks like a bullet hole in the middle of the tank .. they are under attack! All around a compelling story to be told here.

In the thumb I thought it was just an all black photo - and then what a lovely surprise .. can't really tell the gender of the person which adds another layer (pun intended) of mystery to this shot. The mesh is great .. I love the darkness and the drama it adds. I really like the areas you picked to lighten. Nicely done!

Fascinating shot .. I keep thinking I will see eyes somewhere as it is shaped liked a persons head (to me and I have a strange imagination) The leaves remind me of hair hanging down over the eye (that I don't see) The lighting is surreal .. indeed like the reflection of rippling water. Great work!

You are one of my heroes and I don't know you from a hole in the wall but ppl who rescue these little precious beasties play such an important role in making this world better - thank you.

Now about your photo .. what a lovely job - as others have said, she looks like she is either inside something or behind an old window .. I love how you kept her face clear of the payer, esp the beautiful catch light in her eyes. Hope to see more :)

Brings to mind an environmental warning against pollutants which can be so beautiful ( as are the colors in your photo ) but deadly. You gave him a proper send off and made a plea for cleaning up toxic waste .. very well done.

Sheer creative brilliance/madness (madness as applies to the photo, not you) .. Quirky and perfect - I would love to be able to do this type of work to the high degree you do.
