Thank you to all who reviewed the work this week, and thank you for your
kind comment about "The Great Escape," Greg.
I've been very lax about giving reviews lately and I'll to correct that
soon.

This review is sort of negative but I don't get to pick when I have time
to review so here you go.
Howard Leigh (River Stowe, Canterbury, June 2005) - The vertical format of
this image makes me feel claustrophobic. I would like to enjoy the scenery
(I find it so strange to see homes built in water) I just want to get out
of here.
Rick Kessler (Tender kindness) - Not doing anything for me.
Andrea Coffey (Sketchy) - Did you submit to the wrong gallery? Was this
supposed to be a 'Foot Gallery' shot? This image is not working for me.
Marilyn Dalrymple (The Great Escape) - To be honest, this image doesn't do
much for me either. I'm really on a roll here. But what makes this
different for me is that Marilyn shot it and it is very much a Marilyn
shot and for that reason it makes me smile. Another slice of Dalrymple
world.
Terry L. Mair (On the Cummings Park Way) - Nice scenery but I don't think
I've ever seen a photo that was in more desperate need of people. The
emptiness of the road and the foreground in particular makes me nervous.
Perhaps I just need to up my dosage.
C J R Strevens (Fusion Reactor Chamber) - Jules Verne comes to mind. Get
us a shot from the same spot once she's fired up.
Jeff Spirer (Swoon) - Very nice. I like the cropping and the shadow detail
and also the sabattier shoulders but most of all I like the wrinkles in
her dress. Not sure why though.
Mark Harris (Craft Fair Shadow) - I like finding things in the shadows
(like the alligator and ghetto blaster) but is it art?
Louis C Smith (Oliver) - Very nice lighting. Good shot.
Per Ofverbeck (Shadows) - Squares, circles, straight lines and squiggly
lines. What else is there? The regular diagonals of the floor tiles gives
me a totally different feeling than the flowing furniture lines. I'm not
sure I can accept the two styles in the same image. However, I love
looking at the shadows furniture like this creates with the sun's help.
Thanks to the PF staff for another fine gallery.
