The slightly soft treatment works very well here.

The ripples across bird shadow add a near-abstract quality to that part of the image. Nicely done.

Virgo

As insightful as a self portrait. Images chosen from all possible alternatives in a "where I live" theme reveal as much about the photographer as about the place. Nice to have the almost perfect repeating patterns of the middle two rows broken up slightly by the irregularities of the top and bottom rows. And especially nice to see lots of books. I've run across far too many homes with children but nearly no books (sad beyond belief).

View from my home studio

Comment:
Gives the imnpression of a quiet setting that should be helpful for a studio. Guessing from the shadows going away from you at mid-day that the window probably faces north and receives the classic indirect light from the north. Must be a treat to take advantage of that.

In Philly's Shadow

Comment:
The thumbnail really picks up on the texture of the yellow-green and draws attention to the impressionist aspects of this compositions. Nice to capture the people in such symmetrical poses within the boat. Repeating actual and implied horizontal lines give a nice rhythm.

Good image, although I get the impression of someone going to the top without quitting.

Still life of shrimp with lemon

Very nice still life, obviously clicked into the "I quit" challenge in error. Voting high, as though entered in the other challenge.

Extra points out of empathy with an all too familiar frustration.

Not many people know that bladder cancer is realted to smoking. Wonder if people will be expecting lung x-rays.
