I like #2, #4, #3 quite a bit in that order especially #2 and #4 very nice and unique. Maybe someone with a better eye than me can offer more input but had to at least mention how nice those are I'm jealous.

Is that Joyce in the first picture? I don't think the blur works and want to know what is happening. I don't know about 3.
2 and 4 are unusual and I like them for that. Don't know what you call that color...looks like something from an old color print in a book.

Thanks guys. I added the blur because my son made me promise not to use this photo as a work of art (he thought it was too private). I did it anyway but needed to try to disguise the faces. Then I thought it looked neat so I left it. Without the blur there is no dynamic to the photo in my opinion.

I like the first one and the last one, both a lot.

Technically they are both crummy but your composition, blur and colors make them stand out. It is as if you are photographing feelings and experiences rather than solid objects.

[Don Schaeffer]

Thanks I think.

Damn MB...you just made me get all emotional here. Don, number 1 is powerful given the limited history for me.

Thanks Rod

I love that fourth shot. I like the second one as well, but do not like the bevelled edge. I especially liked the colors in the second, the way the blue in the windows played off the green of the roof. Did you hand color the stones? The difference in texture and color of the stones is very beneficial to the shot. The colors in the fourth are what I like, did you underexpose it in camera or after scanning? Either way, the effect really makes the shot.

I didnt hand color. That's what it looked like in that light. I did use a "painting" filter to flatten the image. 135 mm lens.
