First Impression
by Jean

Hmmmm ... this looks like a "Jean" picture - the colours are absolutely lovely, as is the soft clarity of the picture. This is probably my favourite entry to the challenge, overall. And, whoever took this picture, I hope you don't mind if I talk just a little bit about two things that bother me: (1) the white edge of the oildrop to the left merging into the border - doesn't quite merge, but merges enough to be a little distracting; (2) the square arrangement of the window frame reflections - I was just wondering what the picture would look like if those darkish shadows (reflections) would be at more of a right angle to the diagonal colour lines - maybe that would make it too set-up looking, I don't know, but the combination of diagonals and squared off is throwing my eyes for a bit of a loop.

But, I think it's a lovely picture, with a good impressionistic mood, a moment of light and colour. 9 from me.

And, if this is a Jean picture, please do not be offended by my nitpicks above - I admire Jean's work tremendously. If it's someone else's picture, please take all of this as a compliment.

Red and gold on red! Wow. The colours are quite beatiful here, and the image is so clear. I like it - it's such a contrast to many of your other pictures, this almost looks like an advertisement. Very interesting.

Edit (added): actually, it's not that much of a contrast, you have quite a few images that are very graphic in nature. I like your photos very much.

Wow, how did you get these colours? They're wonderful.

Added: sorry, I guess that was a dumb question, that's probably the natural colour of the cat. The browns and golds and reds and even yellows are so intense though, that's why I asked the question.

Wow! This almost looks like one of the old oil paintings, the tone is similar, and the feel/texture. I like it very much.
