Laundry the 1880's Way

Says who?!?!? Love this image. I am not entirely sure I like the selective desaturation, although it works in this case. I'm just wondering here, would a sort of desaturation, where you still keep a bit of colour in the clothing, but not as much colour as you have now, maybe work? Sort of like a desaturation but then tone down the colours? I don't know. ~9

Blue Bayou

Wow! Niiiice! ~10
Added, obviously you know what you're doing, but I would consider, just consider, cropping off a little from the bottom (or somehow moving closer or up a bit). Two reasons, (1) I think I'd like the horizon line a tad lower, and (2) the bottom part, to the left is sort of "messy", whereas the rest of the picture is not, and it draws too much attention.

Van Pelt Street: April

Comment:
This reminds me of banmorn's work. I am not a fan of the heavy use of art filters in photography, however, sometimes they are just the right thing do do. In this case the filter (and whatever else you might have done to clean up the image, if anything) works wonders for the image. My one nitpick is that it looks ever so slightly tilted to the right (see the edge of the green frame at left, I think I would consider lining it up with the edge of the photo). ~9

Peacock at Mayfield Park

I love the movement of the feathers, how they are still in the centre, but as you move outwards, they move faster and faster. Wonderful image - it really conveys the "feel" of not only what peacocks look like, but of how they move. ~10

I love the concept, and it's well executed. I am not so sure that the woodgrain backdrop is the best choice here, to me it looks sort of out of place. Just my opinion though :) ~8

B&W - Day 3

Comment:
I guess at heart I'm a real focus freak when it comes down to it, and the idea of everything out of focus, yet still recognizeable (so much so that many people's -including my own- first reaction will be, "It's blurry!") is new to me. What I'm trying to say is that in my view up to now, if something is presented out of focus, it needs to be recognized as being out of focus on purpose. The idea of purposefully straddling the line between on purpose and by accident hadn't occurred to me. And at first view, to me this looks more like a "by accident". Control-freak-speak :)

I'm not sure, mk, why do you like it?

Excellent work Sandy - say, do they know you by now? They probably say, "There she comes, let's pose!" :)
