Girl in Plaza

Wonderful movement and elan. Also quite perfect ordering of the tones to create an open-closed world for your leading lady. It's a lovely, intuitive real-life photograph, and a blessed relief among all these ponderous blunt instruments.

Had no time to vote or even look before now.
Deb, Don, Andre, Timothy. What dinner party!
I'm late, but save a seat for me.

Which Way to the Smoke Shop?

You are muur88. Don't lie to me, you are! For God's sake get a proper job and stop wasting your life like this. These people deserve a normal life; how can you drag them around with you in this way? It's inhuman. It's abuse. Let it go, man!

I Try to Run, but My Feet Won't Move

Posthumous ribbon? Oh Karma, I am most terribly sorry. I'd like to be able to tell you it will work out for the best, but alas, I'm afraid this is almost invariably fatal. May I suggest that you say your goodbyes to any remaining 'straight' photography friends you may have now, before the symptoms become too advanced? It's normally a very rapid spiral into the abyss from this point. And once again, please accept my deepest, deepest sympathies.

Everybody wants assurances, it appears. "Please Sir, I'm not sure what it is, so I don't know what to think!"

Poor babies. Go back to sleep; the bad monster will be gone in the morning.

Didn't vote this challenge so didn't get your call. But I would have answered it for sure.

The earth moved for me too.

Yes it is. And the result looks like a Turner painting. It has that wonderful indolent texture that he had, like an Arcadian tapestry done by an angel in a dream. The light is especially Turneresque. It's lovely.

Love these tones. Love that vignetting. Love that mystery and ambiguity. Love the absence of anything that sucks. Love the whole damn thing.
