I'm happy with the reaction, though admittedly when it gets this low I wish it would just get a brown.

This is indeed a reflection, though not a funhouse mirror per se. It was the shiny core of the carousel/swing thingey. As to "capturing" exuberance, well, to be honest I'm really creating exuberance. I have a "normal" photo of the same woman and she's not the least bit exuberant, I promise you. hahahaha

I like it. It is very evocative of the heat, light and carefreeness of summer.

When I relax and stop trying to figure out what this is, I am able to enjoy the pure beauty of the colors, shapes, and light. And after that, I see a child on a swing.

So close to a brown for a pretty, vibrant entry! It almost reminds me of the old funhouse mirrors. Nicely caught!

That XT is getting a bit old, Don. Think it's developing some kind of mechanical parkinsons. I like the colours though... ;-)

Looks like an Abstract Emotion outtake.

I rather like this - a hint of summers long gone, perhaps that were never really there even.

Bumping you up (from a 4 - my initial reaction for being too messy) to a 7. For the artistry, almost impressionism.

I like what is going on here...I think would even more if a bit less over-exposed....

In a bit of a turn of events, Johnny simply never saw it coming. As his vision horribly blurred, his mind focused on that last drink. He should have known it was too good to be true. What lady buys a guy a Smirnoff Ice?
