Some fabulous entries this month. I'd like to commend them all (except mine, of course) Here follows my comments on a few that caught my eye
"Inhale, Exhale, Relax" - Thomas Cakalic It didn't strike me at first, but I keep going back to this one and gazing longingly at the scenery. "Gulf Light" - Ann Sanfedele Fabulous light and atmosphere. The yellow shirt on the figure at the shore just makes it perfect. My favourite for this month. "The Summer Palace" - Aconquija This was going to be my favourite until I noticed the nipple on the skyline. Now I can't help staring at it. Teriffic atmosphere. Wonderful shot. Wish I was there. "Snowmelt" - Bruce Dayton WOW! The result is not as good as the print, he says. Well, this is absolutely stunning. So clear and sharp. I am in awe. It is absolutely beautiful. "False Creek - After the Storm" - James Adams This is almost surreal. It has a sort of luminous quality to it. You were actually out biking in this weather! "Old Barn and Silos" - Butch Black I like the colours on this one. Plus I have a fascination for barns. "Colors of the Night" - Artur Ledóchowski Great colours on this one too. Lovely and sharp. My fascination extends to bridges too. Love them. "Windy Picnic" - Amita Guha Like this one. Nicely observed. Is the lampost bending too, or is it alway like that? "Flatiron in the Fog" - Frank Theriault Looks like a postcard out of the 1920s. Hard to believe this is Toronto, 2002 Just one thing puzzles me - this is black and white film, but I can see colour in the image - or is it my monitor? "Fragile Fern" - Geoffrey Stevens Nice colours, lovely and sharp. I can see why taking the dog is optional. They either pull your arm off when you're trying to frame a shot, trample the undergrowth or stick their wet nose on your lens. (mine does the latter) "Calla" - Y.P.Wan This is taken outside! Wow. This is really beautiful "Leaning Tree" - Kathleen Leickly This almost looks like a painting. The colours are superb and the branches of the leaning tree stand out really well against the background. "Tree on Fire " - Jostein Øksne How on earth did you manage this? This is brilliant. Sheer genius. "Night Sculpture" - Gabriel Bovino I too, like the way the bright colours stand out against the dark sky. I'm wondering if it would look better without the two thin blue sticky things on the left but I can't decide. Great abstract shot. "Walking Shadow" - Gianfranco Irlanda This is an excellently observed shot. My eyes tell me it's a shadow. My head tells me it's either upside down or the shot is taken from underneath a glass pavement. i habe to keep going back to look at this one. "Le Petit Prince" - Harald Rust Perfectly posed. "Painted Fox" - Vic MacBournie Weird. Reminds my of my dog. Would like to see the original of this shot. "Just how long does it take" - Mick Maguire Very Elliot Erwitt. This one ties for joint favourite with annsan. Reminds me of my other dog... "Annie and Brodie" - James Donnellan Another nice shot. Does that bag contain what I think it contains? That's all for now. I've really enjoyed viewing this month's PUG. Thanks to all for a great show!
