Robin G. Ramos Firecracker: An unusual and interesting perspective on the "Firecracker." Colorful. The red and yellow line takes my eyes right into the photograph. Lots of red and some yellow in the background, which keeps my eyes focused inside the photograph. The firecracker resembles a snake with a forked tongue. Jeff Spirer Cages: This photograph makes me feel sad. I don't like to see animals confined for human pleasure (I'm guessing these birds are for sale). It also reminds me of an apartment building with humans confined, by themselves, inside. That's sad, too, thinking that some people are no better off than caged birds. Tara Hall A Simple Sunset: The cross in the sky (upper, right hand portion) seems almost prophetic above the blood-red sunset (let's hope it is not). There seems to be a blurring in the tree limbs. This bothers me some, but it could be my eyes or the scan. I always like to see crisp lines when items are silhouetted. Thank you to all who shared their work in this weeks gallery and thank you to Andy and his hard-working staff for hanging the gallery. Marilyn
