Hi everyone!
It's that time again... Here are my comments, as usual, no offence to anyone!
I'm not a pro photographer, but I have had a camera of some kind since the 50s,
and did work in visual aids for Mc Gill University Post Graduate Board/Royal
Victoria Hospital for a while, and have a (now un-used) darkroom, so I do know a
tiny bit about the craft, but it's just for fun now!
So lets see...

Bob Flint: (me, hey I'm first!)
Could have been a better flower... this has no appeal... I should have waited
for a better opportunity!
DerFlatus Mouse:
I suppose the idea here was to make one girl look more important? Looks like a
mistake though, even if it isn't...
Mark Lauter:
Not sure what this is, or if any of it is in focus...
Tom Hudson:
This meets the mandate, but that's about it. Looks like bedroom wallpaper! Nice
mood.
Eric L.:
Could have been bigger I think... it took 3 days before I saw the duck!
Martin Ouellet:
Interesting shot... "Does the duck get stomped?" one asks...
Bowser:
I find this shot un-nerving... I think the writing should be blurred more so it
can't be read... it's distracting... I'd crop out the Zuma crap! Nice globe...
Alan Browne:
This is a neat shot - reminds me of a red-sparkle bass drum inside-out! Maybe
the frame in front could have been more blurred? The open space on the right
leads your eye there but there is nothing so it's a bit mysterious! Excellent
work!
Jim Kramer:
I think the boy should have been in focus, no? It's not apparent what is going
on... Maybe the boy and girl in focus?
Duncan Chesley:
I didn't get this one - didn't know it was an apple... I think the tree should
be blurred more... The apple is not properly exposed... strange shot!
Bret Douglas:
This is pretty good, to get you to look at the 2 blonds, but I think that face
on the right in back should have been cropped or blurred out... and the guy with
the fan fingers...
Al Denelsbeck:
Nice pic, the car looks transparent.
Paul Bielec:
hmmm I think it would have been better not to crop so close, I would have liked
to see more boat! And maybe from higher up...
Colin Donoghue:
I like this photo! But that background has to go!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK that's it! Thanks everyone for the great pics!
No flames please, but I do have marshmallows if you do!

Yeah. Limitations of the image size. The whole point was to have both
nouns in the saying IN focus, and everything else OOF, and to
emphasize the distance.
Strangeness is in my blood.
Thank you for looking and for the comment.
This is fun!
