81 Jul 25 Comment Thank you, Janet. Inside the building, the lighting was dim and the imagery small, so I couldn't clearly discern the narrative the artist intended-but the experience still evoked a strong, positive feeling. Several other installations shared a similarly avant-garde tone. I chose this one because its colors reminded me of camouflage, yet the building itself seemed to proclaim, "Notice me." Jul 30th

81 Jul 25 Reply Thanks Rose, I will try croping a little on the top and left and then removing the people. Jul 29th

81 Jul 25 Comment Mark, your image beautifully captures the quiet drama of winter. The icy branches glisten with texture, and the added cardinal introduces a striking focal point and narrative. Slight sharpening of the bird could enhance realism, but overall, a compelling and poetic scene. Jul 29th
81 Jul 25 Comment Angela, I'm inspired by your creativity-transforming a simple vase into an elegant, artful portrait. The soft lavender tones and gentle lighting create a serene mood, while the offset keyline adds a distinctive, modern touch. A beautifully composed, uplifting image.

81 Jul 25 Comment Kurt, impressive hand-held pano-nicely stitched and processed. Your attention to detail, especially in removing distractions and enhancing contrast, really elevates the image. Great composition and storytelling. Well done. Jul 29th
81 Jul 25 Comment Jennifer, this is a strong, moody capture. The B&W suits the historic feel, and your composition is well considered. Cropping the dark cloud, as others noted, helps center focus. Both versions have merit-well done. Jul 29th

Rose, your "Sketch Stacey" radiates warmth and creativity-a tender portrayal of your daughter rendered with thoughtful nuance. Your use of soft color over black and white gives the piece a refreshing individuality that enhances emotional depth.

The framing grain effect subtly directs attention and adds a touch of artistic drama. I echo the gentle suggestion to include a bit more of the jumper on the right-it could add balance and a sense of grounding without detracting from the portrait's delicacy.

Altogether, it's a heartfelt and well-executed piece. Beautiful work.

81 Jul 25 Comment **Peer Review by Joann Rolle**

Janet, thank you for sharing "Fireworks." The vibrancy and composition truly spark joy-an apt metaphor for July celebrations. You've captured the essence of summer with a simplicity that's both compelling and authentic.

From an artistic lens, the cropping was a smart decision, enhancing focus and eliminating distraction. The strong central composition and saturated colors give the image its celebratory feel.

For growth: consider subtle adjustments to highlights, as noted by others. A light touch in post-processing might deepen impact without compromising the natural charm.

Overall, a delightful, eye-catching submission. Keep capturing what brings you joy!

81 Jul 25 Comment I agree Angela; the crop was too tight. I like what you have done here. Jul 6th
