I could have put both of todays offerings in the same thread but I didn't feel like they belonged together. Enjoy. :thumb

Thanks for looking!

    Page two came fast for this one. I hope that is not indicative of it's content.

    Not really feeling this one, Travis. I think you are keying on the fellow in the middle, but the big guy between he and the lady makes it unclear that they are interacting at all (and I'm not really sure that they are since there is another woman partly visible that might be the one).

    I'm afraid I agree with Andrew. I don't know what is supposed to be attracting my attention, and to be frank, nothing really does. What was your idea here?

    Thanks for the comments, Andrew and Richard. I was unsure about this shot from the beginning but I was hopeful because the day wasn't very productive. I intended to show a differential between the young crowd, who seem to be having a good time, and the older crowd, who seem a little irritable. I can see how that might be hard to pick out, though.

    Nice idea, but I can't really find anyone looking like they are having a great time.

    I think that's the hard part. To me (I was hoping to you) the overall mood is implied. It was worth the attempt, at least. :D

    Absolutely! I think sometimes we all find it hard to separate what we had in mind from what other people will see in our pics. I know I do.

    To me this image comes quite close, but doesn't quite click. I don't buy the young crowd/old crowd, thing, which I suspect was something that Travis saw but failed to capture. But to me this image is about the three women - left, center, and older woman right side with glasses. Their expressions are related, and I see the hulking guy in the foreground reaching out for the center woman. There's something interesting there, but...ne_nau.gif
