Marilyn, I'd like to see a series of these "ghosts". It would make a good project and your are off to a fine start. They'd look nice as prints too. The sticker denotes the love-lorn red pepper's pedestrian status (wears tacky designer labels) setting it apart from the classy Salon pepper. AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 4Th ed.

Shipman: Beautiful detail in the feathers and nice color, but I want to see his/her eye. If the shot had been taken over the bird's left shoulder (facing the camera) it may be a little more satisfying. Just my opinion. I like the soft, lighter green background. > > Alan Zinn > Querida: Neat idea, with the black and white pepper in the background and the bright read "live" pepper in the foreground. The black background sets it all off. Very nice, For me, the label on the red pepper is distracting, but I'm sure it serves a purpose for the photographer. > > Don Roberts > Purple Bottle: What a great purple bottle (I hope you grabbed it and saved it dor future photos). You did a good job of arranging all the components, Don. The off-center green bottle is the one that holds my attention, however. It adds tension - I feel like it's about to slip out of place and shatter into the bottles below it. Nice photograph - very interesting. > > David Small > It's a $1.50: It looks like whatever the three men are discussing is much more intriguing than the price of $1.50. I'd love to be a fly on the outside of the truck and hear what they are saying (this photo brings out the voyeuristic tendencies in me). > > Kostas Papakotas > floating in space: Great ingenuity, Kostas. To make a cloth on a scanner into a free-floating object in outer space (and the dust bits, stars or planets, yet) took imagination. Nice job. > > Roger Eichhorn > Egret Flock: What beautiful forms and shapes the birds make, Roger. I think if the photograph were cropped to just the seven birds in the center, it would be a beautiful image. The gentle, curved shapes of their wings while in flight are fascinating. Great job. > > Marilyn Dalrymple > Motion: I could have added a little more information - huh? There are many fields fenced with barbed wire in my area and the fields are sometimes covered with plastic. When the wind blows some pieces of plastic take flight and catch on the barbed wire - it looks like dozens of ghosts are holding on to the fence. Anyway. The photograph is a piece of plastic, caught on barbed wire, and being whipped around by the wind. > > Emily L. Ferguson > yet another winter flower experiment: A beautiful photograph, Emily. I like the soft colors against the pale background, but I'm wondering how the flower would look against a dark (black?) background. I love the detail and gentleness of these images. > > Thank you to all who shared their work, and thank you, Andy and staff for hanging the gallery. > > Marilyn > > > _______________________________________________________________________________ > > When written in Chinese, > the word "crisis" is > composed of two > characters - one represents > danger, and the other > represents opportunity. > > > John F.
