My top pick for the challenge (9). Not sure how I would have improved on it, maybe try to get the right half as sharp as the left. Though in retrospect, there's an odd blurry triangular wedge on the right. Sorry, I would have bumped you down a point or two if I had noticed that when I was voting (but I didn't--yay!). Yup, certainly some fishy stuff going on in the far right upper 2/3s.

Made me laugh out loud. Not sure which is cuter, the grumpy kid or the curious hippo. Lighting is great.

because it is a feeling first, and then we don't know if it is a boy/girl person or man/woman person, and do we care because even with the slice of "reality" we are in the same feeling only slightly situated but not too much. (I have been reading Gertrude Stein...) good.

A feeler of a shot. Excellent juxtaposition.

Comment by CNovack:
Love the juxtaposition of the two subjects. The figure in the painting is looking in one direction seemingly staring straight back and any viewer who will meet her gaze. Then there is an art observer who is looking in the opposite direction gazing at something else and failing to meet the watchful stare of the portrait lady.

Where in the world did you find an albino peacock? And on display, at that! Well done.
