When just memories remain

I love the light & shadow in this. My feminist side doesn't much care for the way she is presented in this photo, but that says more about me than about you. I think it's worth a fav anyway. It's interesting that I can know nothing of the reality of the shot, or of your intent. All I have is my own personal reaction to what I see on the screen in front of me. Another reason for the fav is the treat of having strong reactions to a shot, even if they make me uncomfortable.

In this series of portraits, each one is unique but with a style that carries clearly from one to another. And the style is unique, strong, uncompromising. I am impressed. There has to be a gallery somewhere that would be very interested in this collection. Well done--huzzah! The side challenges here are amazing--I would never have noticed these but for this side challenge. Thank you.

Instant fave! This would fit perfectly into the Magic & Mystery challenge. Yes, maybe a dog, but also maybe a magical creature you have taught to walk on a leash. People see what they expect to see, so everyone assumes it is in fact a dog. But, no.

Refueled and Ready For Take Off

Yes that's on of the main attractions of a camera for me--that it can show me what I can't see on my own. And birds offer so much! Their wings are amazing. Sweet shot.

There's a nice story here, I like it. The title works out great, too.

It is a fun exercise, to shoot without a viewfinder, it makes me aware of the camera's focal plane. This one turned out very well (you still have your sense of timing) "D !

'Quirky combination of textures' was my first reaction. Also different BW tones. The composition feels unsettling. Don't know if that is what you were aiming for. JMO.

Sharp & scratchy texture--looks like winter.

I love the soft color & the movement. But I see only the flying bird (sorry!) with lovely tail feathers.
