Congratulations on the OOBIE! Talk about making lemonade out of lemons. The PP is inspired. Only you, Deb, could have found the beauty in that sorry dead weed.

Take Out #2

Very nicely done. I particularly like your composition. I think it could use a little more light, but then it might blow out the detail on the rice. Congratulations on another BP. You're really on a roll.

Very pretty shot. I love the rich colors. It did take me a while to find the pencil, but that was fun.

Jeffrey, the SC must have gotten their inspiration for the current challenge "From the Ground Up" from this shot.

Very well done. You have given us a good image and a good laugh too. Thanks. I like the rotation of the shot, with the crown molding on the diagonals.

Congratulations, Jeff. I love this shot. It's so wonderfully simple, yet something I could look at for hours.

Oh boy, you did it!!! You finally got a ribbon. Something you have been deserving for a very long time. Congratulation, Shez, I'm so happy for you. :)))

And BTW, I love the photo.

I was very interested by your comments about the pp trying to mimic the 3-D children's books. I work on a laptop, and when I tilt the screen back (typically darkens the screen) the people and ball actually do seem to come right out of the picture. They brighten while the background darkens.

I haven't read the rest of the comments here, but I suspect your score was hurt by DNMC votes, since it is very atypical for a portrait. I think the image is very lively and a good shot.

Bad Girls

I really like your b&w conversion, and the use of b&w for this subject seems very appropriate: a gray life of the graying women. What I love to see is that, except for the front woman, they all look so normal, bright eyed, and happy. I'm glad the voters appreciated it as it deserved.
