 lovely comments, and a fish!

lunaria, silver dollar, money, lunacy, sic transit.

more nice comments and a thumb!

yes, I know about the posterization: this processed under stress which seems to bring out the worst in algorithms; but really I didn't know what to do with it.

and I am indeed a (complimented) neat fan.

this is so poignant... tattered hoops without a jumper... loops without a bubble blower... a magician's decrepit rings...

Bummer this scored as low as it did. Those natural tattered drums all lined up, my favorite from this challenge.

Oh bugger! I had done all my votes but hadn't realised that the deadline for getting my comments done was today. And you were in my top three which means that I'd have awarded you an Order of the Thumb. Would you still accept it on a (sorry) posthumous basis?


The picture is beautiful. The taste is bitter/sweet; always so much more memorable than just the one thing or the other. Thank you.

Great job giving us an optical illusion. I doubt many other people could have seen this in the field and found a circle in it.
