Hi Greg,
Thank you so much for your comments. Bosco's owner is also a street person.
He was in the doorway but couldn't be seen in the pic.

Comments.
Renate Volz (vanity) - Am I just a sucker for green or is it the way the
light reflects off the mirror onto the subject and spills out onto the
carpet like a stain. And why should that interest me? Don't know. Like the
shot though.
Trevor Cunningham (light at the end of the tunnel) - I think my eyes are
yearning for the contrast that is not here. Actually I don't need darker
darks but I need lighter lights. I feel like I'm suffocating staring at
this. Interesting effect.
Lea Murphy (Rachel) - Very nice shot but not as nice as that spectacular
puppy shot you put up last week. I meant to comment on it but ran out of
time.
Srinivasa R. Regeti (Renaissance Festival) - Lovely little
advertisement/copyright in the corner. Its big enough you can't miss it
and the red 'rp' squiggle is a nice touch.
Howard Leigh (My early morning shadow) - You won't believe this but that
looks exactly like my own shadow! Other than that its not getting me
really excited. The image is full of lines none of which are parallel to
the edges of the frame and none of which are really diagonal enough to
give real tension. They're all just sort of off and I keep waiting for
something to happen but it never does. I'm just left yearning for a ball
or a garbage can to break up the lines.
Dona Tracy (Bosco, a street dog) - If he's a street dog, how do you know
his name is Bosco? I like the very muted colors and the sweep of the dog's
right ear. I also like the connection between the dog's head and the two
round carvings on the wall. Overall although I prefer the mirror image of
this shot, I still like this. Kind of classic look to it.
Museki Abe (Autumn Color 3) - Now I adore the shape of the branches and
the way the leaves form round edged clumps of color and the combination of
the gold and blue leaves but the leaning building and what appears to be a
telephone pole behind it really throw me off. I just can't help think 'why
wouldn't you level the camera?' Without them the scene is one of
tranquility and harmony. That's probably just me though. I'm like that.
C J R Strevens (Roberta on the common) - Its a real fiddle huh? You live
in a very interesting part of England. I suppose hoof in mouth disease has
scared everyone out of the forests so its safe to tromp around and sleep
naked in the grass. Well this is my favorite of all your zombie sex slaves
in the wild creations. I like the patchy out of focus spots and even the
composition is pleasing. Good job.
