It is the subtlety. Of each of the main flavours - sweet solidarity and gentle humour - and their combination that makes the aftertaste such a je ne sais quoi. (My only suggestion would be to pluck out the 5 and 6 votes and make them all 10's - leaving the 2,3 and 4 votes as is out of respect for human frailty).

After Lunch [BW]

Comment:
Hmn. Moments like this - zigging back and forth between the 2 versions - make me think I need some serious art training. In the original, the similarities in dress were more salient because we could SEE that they were more or less the same colour, and I found that delightful. ("More or less" is a useful and desirable thing in my opinion). On the other hand the background flowers seemed to pull us away from these more or less similarities; so yes, the BW is tighter and pulls us straight into the conversation of these two, but now I miss "knowing" their similar colour choices. Overall I think this one has a greater quicker kick.

Like this as is. Love the feet, all in such varied stages of purposeful stride, receding into the distance. And the dog who is a puzzle to us, but not to himself.

Now this is rich! Great tones, great sense of flying by, windows, reflections, shutters, lines and stripes everywhere, and yes, I think he saw you.

This is beautiful. Lines, light, dimensions of all sorts. (You have done the architect proud).

Ha. Nice diagonal tension. (Expert editing would have allowed you to highlight, just a tad, that clever wicked little toe claw).

Reminds me of Les Enfants du Paradis. Exemplary use of bright whites and dark blacks.

Day 15 - Signs of Age

Quite taken with this. Partly her dress and hat and the way you have done the colour, but also the composition with the strong lines and really nice way the lighting showcases her skin. For me this supports the self respect shown by her attire as well as the dignity of her work. (There are days when I feel the most important things I have done have been humble manual tasks. Is this a sign of age or wisdom?)

Thanks bvy. (Actually I thought I had boosted the ISO, but the little panny requires an extra affirmation action that I sometimes forget; it also isn't that much bigger than your Oly, and is very easy one-handed).
