    Hi B.D.
    I like #1 because of it's humor (guess it wouldn't have worked quite so well in b&w).

    I also really ilke #2, it leaves me guessing a bit--but I like the comp and the ambiguity.

    Thanks, Liz - And yes, #1 needs the color...I think. I didn't even look at it in BW.

    #1: "Look at Me! I'm expressing myself and being really original!" …shame that you've been spotted!

    #2: Interesting observation… …still trying to work out what is real and what is reflected!

    #3: Love the pairs of eyes (don't like whatever is intruding on the right though…) …seats look v. uncomfortable!

    Nice job!

    B.D,
    # 3 is my favorite because of his expression. Her "why are you shooting me" kind of telling the story. The two dolls holding a spot for whoever is also great interest. Too bad that little something blocked on the right side.
    #2 is also interesting and I am still try to figure out what was he doing. :-)

    great shots.

    Two out of three in colour must be a record. The third works the best for me and I love her expression. Except what is that thing on the right hand side? Is it a recreation of classic snapshots from the 70's, finger over the lens and all? mwink.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Well, when the story's the color, color it is. My kid's hat had to be color. I tried #3 in bw, but it didn't work, especially because you'd then lose the red hair on the doll closest to the girl. As to that 'thing,' I just don't know. eek7.gif

    #2, for those trying to figure it out -
    The grad sitting on the left, then a propped-open screen door, then a multipanned glass door with reflections.

    But the sum total is after 7 years(!), kid #3 is now a college grad and I can finally try to save a bit for retirement!rolleyes1.gif
