| Before I look more closely at this image, and saw the young boy covering his eyes, I thought of the three monkeys, and to my surprise look what I see. A great candid shot that works..... |

Thank you ... sometimes he does seem like a little monkey boy ... I have to admit this motif isn't entirely original, even for me:
We don't have that many Concord grapes out here (even in Concord!), but that same dusty bluish-purple is also found on the elderberries which grow wild all over. |

LOL...oh Paul this would have worked so much better in a humorous challenge or the portrait challenge...I can see this being titled...My Little Monkey....but seriously yes Isaac was right there is a purple hue to the monkeys...its very mild but it is there...I would say more of a purple undertone to them, however, they are about the same color as concord grapes in the fall....that deep dark purplish blue, so with that said they would fit the challenge.
The backround is a bit busy but I'm sure in this instance you had no control over that....as for the bench being slanted I tend to agree with you it wouldn't look right if it weren't.

Sorry, I was tired when I wrote that. I'll have to try it and see how it looks. To me, it was obvious that the far rooflines are part of entranceways, and as such would look odd if slanted. But others might not notice.
The other factor is that, although the bench slants, Isaac is somewhat compensating and sitting up pretty straight. There's also a vertical seam in the window right behind his shoulder.
I appreciate the suggestions! My mom was visiting, and I know she'll like it regardless of the roofline :)
Now if I could only have made it purple ... |

The bench is slanted -- it would look far stupider (IMO) to have the bench level and the reflected rooflines slanted ...
Maybe I should re-title this "Now I Feel So Blue" :) |

| Well, since I am red-green color-blind, I always have trouble with blues and purples. In this case, I was relying on Isaac's opinion that the monkeys themselves had a dusky purple color to them, somewhat like elderberries ... I can't really argue the case either way from Photoshop's densitometry info, as the borderline between blues and purples is so nebulous. |

| Cute shot, but the framing seems unbalanced, and it looks oversharpened. Also, I'm not getting much of a hint of purple here. |

| The idea is origional but i really can't see the purpel theme here. Think you should try this as a B&W maybe. |

I'm not seeing any suggestion of purple. I see bronze, aqua, blue, yellow, gold,cream, beige even a bit of red in the background but absolutely no purple.
It's a nice snap shot but the background is a bit distracting. |

| The only thing resembling "purple" I see is the pole in back of the Hear No Evil monkey next to the red pole. Other than that, this photo does not depict nor suggest purple. Bench is slanted and does not benefit from this abstract angle, even though shrine/wall in back is horizontally level. |
