the distortion is actually really weird! But I love the pastels- even in the the sky - and that's what the challenge was about

can't believe that this didn't reach the TT
I love the freshness - the colours, the light and above all the amazing bokeh

Things go better with Coke....maybe.

This is very cleverly executed - I'm just wondering where the reflection comes from... maybe an open window.
The warm colours are lovely, actually the wide range of colours on the very left building's windows is awesome

... When Summer Clothes Need Ironing
by PenelopeK

Comment:
I have to admit that I didn't understand the expression Pet Peeves and therefore didn't enter.
Only after watching all the entries I got it. And it's funny that you're not fond of ironing since this is no favourite of mine also. The backlight makes a fine picture! I'm not sure about the "impressionist" pp

Mysteries lie all around us, even in the most familiar things, waiting only to be perceived.

Good thing that you stopped to take that picture! The reflection is really special. I like it that you got close enough to put the emphasis on the surface with the dancing water pattern but wide enough to let the viewer unterstand the context

It looks soooo delicious!
Buying crablegs at the grocery store isn't that easy here... at least it is quite expensive.
I've never tried crablegs before but I'd love to - and drink a glass of white wine, which also looks equally inviting in your picture

Mr Nobody From Nowhere

Somehow it reminds me a little bit of Rene Magritte's picture of the man with the apple
But I like the contrast to the young lady next to him, which makes it more humorous

I remembered that I recognized him as the guitar player when I was voting but that didn't bother me at all. It is perfectly valid to use a good picture that was created for a certain challenge in a Free Study. I can't understand why anybody should give a 2, 3 or 4... oh well - we'll never know...
I rated this picture a 7 but I would have given an 8, if the shadows under his feet weren't somewhat harsh.

And I have to tell you a funny story as an aside:
When I was voting on the miniworld (your son playing guitar) our daughter was looking over my shoulder. When she saw you son she said: Well, if this handsome guy asked me for a date I certainly wouldn't decline!!!
