This one came together quite seamlessly! Very interesting.

"round circle in the square hole" - PennyStreet makes the coolest observations!

Very eye-catching. BW and high contrast are just right for it. No one else seems to wonder what he was doing - carrying a box or scratching! I do especially like the way the ceiling girders pull the eye in to the figure.

I should have made my comment here - moving it now :)

Warm for me. I can see where cool tones were tempting, though.

Cool! I did not recognize these as gongs and was wondering. IMO you made some great choices. I enjoy having the "heaviest" gong at the bottom, lighter and open area at the top, and near symmetry on the sides. Additionally, the branches framing sides and top work well - and provide a lacy counterpoint to the weight of the discs.

Lovely! Perfectly presented as is. I always like to rotate abstracts every possible way, just to see if something pops out at me as the best orientation.

Everything we need in a box! This is an adorable scene and story - in addition to being a great family photo! For me and for a wall-hanger (which it merits), I would remove the car; even though the over-exposure and grayscale makes it less obtrusive, my eye goes there when I want it to be on the girls and their play.

This one is particularly intriguing. I love that the cross is there as a shadow . . .

The garnishes and placemat frame this nicely - and add a very appealing freshness. I'm with others in admiring food photography when it's genuinely visually appealing.

Love the drama of red and black and the touch of life the silhouetted figures add to this iconic scene.

Interesting that the black and white stands out in the color - so often it's the reverse. Love those lacy wings.
