Julianne, I knew that this was your work from just seeing the thumb, even before opening it. I knew from the colors and mix of shell and shapes that this was shot just above the tide line on the Gold Coast Beach. I like the combo of the shell and the little crab hole in the sand. The image reconnects me with happy days spent there long ago. Thanks for the reminder.

I like the idea here, and I like how you've included the larger pebble and the hole to give the eye some direction. I also find the large shell in the corner a welcome relief, since there is SO much going on in the rest of the image. I think for me, though, I would rather see more focus on either the large shell or the large pebble, because it looks like the focus is centered on the coarse sand in front of the pebble, which prevents my eye from really resting on the pebble, which makes the whole image a little overwhelming to look at, in my opinion, because, again, there's SO much going on with the texture and colors here. I do think this has the makings of a really lovely composition, but I would probably pare it down a little more. I think, for instance, if you'd cropped it so that the bottom right hole wasn't included, there would be proportionately more of the larger softer shapes and less of the crazy sand, and the image would feel more balanced.

She awoke slowly, her vision blurred, her senses dulled. As things became more clear, she glanced around her. She tried to move her arms, then legs, but nothing was there. Try as she might the limbs that were once as much a part of her as anything wouldn't respond. It was then that she glanced down. She blinked. A part of her could not, would not, believe what she was seeing, but slowly the realization dawned. It was a reflection, and she... was not she anymore.

Pippi Longstocking closed her eyes and laughed. It was a new life, in a new form, and really it was all she could do.

A pretty cool effect - reminds me of the anti-voodoo doll for some reason and I have no idea what an anti-voodoo doll is. I just made it up. For me, there is more emotion to the photo then abstractedness but a good job at trying...

Black and white art. The wet draping of the suit. Yes, their little bums are beautiful. Are we losing something by being afraid to say so? Good for you and xianart.

I typed up and deleted a comment on this shot during voting a dozen times. I guess I'm more of a prude than I thought, or maybe it's because I don't have kids but it really made me uncomfortable to look at it. Totally on my end, no inference of anything malicious on yours, but naked little kid butt posted on the net just doesn't feel right to me. Reading through your comments it looks like I am alone in getting creeped out over it.
