What a delightful grouping. Every one of these images is immediately
engaging in the tiny thumbnail, and they all work well together as a
group. There is a surprising similarity of color, mood

What a great photo! The image is high contrast, but not glaring. There
is little detail, but the color wash of the background and the subtlety
of the reflected light on the feet are sufficient to engage the eye and
the imagination. This is a photo that would be comfortable to live
with, long term, just for the stories that one could imagine about those
feet and where they have been.

last gasp of autumn
Great composition and color. If one were to imagine the photo gridded
into thirds, there is one leaf at the intersection of the grid in the
upper left, that seems poised to drop, even in the still photo. It
might be my monitor, but I would like to see more (gamma?) contrast or
richness in the color. Things are just a little whitish/flat on my desktop.

I love the thumbnail. The composition and the simplicity of the color
are great. For me, the images loses in the enlargement. This may,
however, be a fact of viewing it an a 19" monitor, while sitting 18"
away. If I back across the room (about 10 ft), it works far better.
That said, the scallops of the shadow are intriguing. They are a point
of lushness that 'makes' the photo. Well, actually, all of the light
and shadow, moving across the fan, culminating in the scallop shadows.
Would it be possible to put a little more detail in the fan? The
watercolor painting effect works well, but I am a fan of the more
photorealistic watercolor approach - see:
http://www.aacwebkiosk.com/Obj1967$1650 or other works by Carolyn Brady
also <http://www.nancyhoffmangallery.com/artists/brady.html> Her work
in watercolor allows the image to work well both as the abstract (seen
from afar) and close up.

Image Cathedral at Les Baux
Beautiful. Wonderful color; incredible meshing of the images. How in
the world did you do it? Is that Cezanne in the background, being
projected and the people moving through and blurring? This photo is
very painterly and reminds me of a point where Richard Diebenkorn meets
Wayne Thiebaud: sundrenched, realistic abstraction. Bravo!

Mykat Watching Fall
Wonderful color! A capturing of the surreal ability of a cat to
orchestrate anything and everything, including the seasons. Excellent
composition, with the lines (of the drapes?) swooping up from the lower
left and into the heart of the leaf and cats eyes. The leaf color is s
perfectly echoed in the cat's eyes.
