I like how the red changes tones in response to sunlight and sun bleaching. Also the interesting contrast with the soft purple of the entryway flagstones. Except for the lamp, nice bucolic feel.

I really enjoy this image, simple as it is. The forward tulip nicely overlays the further one and this overlap is like the succession of spring. Lovely bokeh.
And your description, "Somewhere hidden...", is very poetic.

My favorite of the four. This type of processing can go too far, in my opinion, but here it nicely suits the subject. She has a winsome look and I sense her loving, curious nature. Maybe this would also succeed if the non-fur upper corners were cropped lower.

This is my favorite of the three. There's a depth of character here that the others lack, in my opinion. Also, this image plays with the boundary between doll and model. It seems really productive to experiment this way.

I prefer your other picture of the two. Not sure if the hands are adorable or kind of a distraction. Again, the speckling seems gratuitous.

Lovely, loving image. A beautiful baby, with full cheeks and forehead, understanding eyes and expressive mouth, with that wonderful reflection on the lower lip. The muted tones and textures are perfect for the subject. I see the original, but in this b & w version the room seems dim and intimate, so nicely done. The best surprise, only lately noticed, is his/her mother coddling from above, almost disappeared but radiant with love. I don't feel the highlights improve the picture, but aside from that it's utterly charming.

Extension Cord In Water

Moving out of the shops and mechanical rooms, this image is not only cautionary but also esthetically pleasing. The ground, left, right and boundary, is an interesting abstract. The plug, though female, looks like it fits perfectly into the notch on the edge of the white portion. The white area looks like a fish or some other amazing creature beyond our ken. The presence of the extension cord adds a little jolt to the scene.

stuffed zucchini flowers

And now the stuffed flower heads. They look tasty, and I'm wondering what they've been stuffed with. I can't help noticing the parallel to an earlier image of yours, "a little break", with two glasses of wine and chips on a metal table on a street in Italy. I like this image too, as the casual hominess shines through. I wonder if these high calorie photos will subtly nudge our waists outward.

Some good looking veggies. I've never seen undecapitated zucchinis before. Only quibble, the sign or screen at the upper left is distracting.

okay, it is a backboard, which teaches me to pay better attention to titles
