great sky and wonderful colours on the coffee house mural. Perhaps in an ideal world there would not be the wing mirror in shot, but given the square cropping I can see whey you kept it there because to shorten the image would have had a greater negative impact

Day 28 Nicole

OK serious comment time

1. In terms of the image. Really interesting expression. It is hard to tell for sure whether it is inner calm or if she is sad/in pain and just trying to hold it in

2. Wonderful clarity and focus. Some may say that the stray hairs should be cloned out, but (and this is personal taste only) I much prefer images with these in, it shows that she is a real person

3. Only question would be whether the black background is a bit harsh given her beaut tijan (sp) hair. If you look at the shot you did on candid, the softer blue of the skyline and sea almost made her hair look more vibrant (imo)

This however is a stunning portrait. Top job

Ohhh blimey, youve gone all Salvador Dali on us

I like the fact that the clouds on the right of the frame almost look like billowing smoke

Not even God would tell Chuck Norris to stop

Goodness

A mask which i actually like and can look at without getting the heebee geebees (which is a bit strange as it appears to have fangs)

It has a real buddhist look to this. Super image

Lovely shot. The oval border makes me think of 'old time' portrait photgraphy and the result means that the actual image really pops out at you more

Love the clarity of the translucent veined wings

I love the two images here. Such a great effect (for a while I was unsure whether I was looking at some kind of reflection which had been caught in one image)

Really appealing visually

Day28 - A Duck

This guy is your guinea pig???? Holy moly they must be some super advanced PP techniques you are using because it sure looks like a duck to me

Lovely capture and I love the greying feathers around the eye and beak, which make this chap look like a wizened old timer

Super rippled reflection as well

Fantastic expression on your daughter which completely encaptures the 'what now dad' face that only kids can express

Very nice blues and green in the shot

Without a shadow of doubt one of my favourite stories from this challenge

How fantastic that this building represents your great grandfather and grandfathers toil, and what a testament to them that it still stands today

I love the evocative momories from your childhood, I guess if you put kids to play in a building like this nowadays you would have some well meaning person telling you a million reasons why you couldnt, but heck life is meant to be fun. I think we all took more risks than our children do nowadays but people had the sense to look after themselves and if ever there was an accident then we had the character to accept responsibility for what we did (rather than immediately looking to engage a lawyer and find someone to blame)

Your - previously unknown to me - brother needs to be told that he now has hero status in the UK I love the fact that his tones were so full of foreboding that you remember them today (and as someone who had two similarly inherently evil older sisters its good to see the boys getting there own back)

You talk about the lack of perfection of the shot, but all I will say to you is that having read your comments I can feel the heat of a summers day in this shot, I can taste the dust motes that must have abounded, hear the clucking of the chickens and the laughter of the kids (together with the whispered secrets that they shared) and for that reason this is just a magnificent image.

But... I need to say, I have heard that someone has escaped from a nearby institution...the police are searching for him because he has been known to gruesomely kill kids...No-one know where he is hiding....sssshhhh did you just hear a creak of a rafter? Probably nothing to worry about

Mua hahahahaha
