Wow! That's a helluva bright orange you've cooked in here :-) I can just feel the heat of summer building up...

Interlaced - Tangled In Their Thousand Strands

Comment:
Glorious complexity and a beautifully bilious green, the way a Bear used to feel after a late night at the Salmon Bar with the Akavit :-)

ArchitecturalClouds

There's a lot of perfection in this image: it's crisp, the luminosity is well-handled, nothing's overdone, and so forth. It seems a bit sterile to me, though, and it feels like the diagonal should be more pronounced.

Still, I shouldn't be critical when I actually DO appreciate very much that you made this with me in mind, and I thank you for it.

Starboard portholes
by nygold

Comment:
I love old ships...But this is where a Bear begins to ruminate on the distinction between portholes and portlights, these probably being the latter because they can be opened :-)

No matter, no matter! Thanks for taking me out to sea this lovely summer day.

Tribute to a Bear_Music Sunset

Comment:
You got the sunset part just great; the sky is beautifully-handled. The rest of it is rather humdrum, but you knew that, right? You just wanted to share your sky with a Bear, and he thanks you!

Long on the wave reflected lustres play
by Melethia

Comment:
This Bear was unaware that "lustre" could be pluralized, but then he assumes that whoever spells "luster" as "lustre" is a mother-speaker of the shared tongue, so he will cede the point and bask in the lustres (reflected, no less) on this very beguiling image which he just realized he had sorely under-rated and is now bumping from 5 to 7 :-)

That's a HECK of a fill job there :-) Striking image.

Landing Skiff
by CNovack

Comment:
Skiffs really, really like level horizons, ya know? Besides, that's a sailboat, not a skiff. On the plus side, it's RED and the scene is MARSHY, and a Bear thanks you for showing him your corner of the waterworld.

And I'm a mossy old Bear, is that the idea? Hrrmph! Even if it IS close to the truth :-) Nice flare, BTW.

Oooks, around and around, going down, whirlpool city, never mind my mind, strong spirits in order.
