hummmm...quite interesting expression here!!!!!

Guest		19-Dec-2004 18:47
Yes I like this better. Great expression on your face

Guest		18-Dec-2004 22:52
Oh, this is a good one! You all right?

Gary Winters		18-Dec-2004 07:16
I like this better as well. The colored head was freakin' me out. But, is it my eyes, or is this slightly OOF? Or maybe you're going for soft focus? I do like your expression. Well done.

I like this better, really. Shows how we all see things differently! Good for that, man this would be a boring world if we all liked the same things!

No no no no no... that colored head was a nightmare come to life. This is just wonderful and leaves all the expressing to you and the photo. The other one obfuscates the wonderful expressiveness here.

Guest		18-Dec-2004 01:58
The expression is clearly that of one retreating - good acting. But I agree that for this shot, the selective color is actually distracting. Solid B&W might have worked better. Cheers.

I missed the post. But the image is a gut buster. I like your humor. Somebody have something nasty to say about the commenting we do on each other's photography? My two cents... I like to see other people's ideas on my work and it motivates me to look at their work too. I'm not one to say "This really sucks!" so if I don't like the image, I move on. If I do like it, I say so and usually vote for it too. Its my favorite thing about belonging to Pbase.

I like it called a wubbie.. I have one, you know.. for real.. I sleep with it every night - an afghan I crocheted a few years ago.. I feel weird if it's not lying lengthwise in my arms. Okay that IS weird.. isn't it? LOL I like this.. and I like the look on your face. like you need even more comfort than a binkie can give..

You just never outgrow these childhood comforts!!!

Pepe Zyman		17-Dec-2004 20:56
You are just too funny!

Guest		17-Dec-2004 20:28
I bet you're sick of all the "hmmmmm" huh? I didn't see the two prior! HMMMM! Sorry?!

Guest		17-Dec-2004 20:27
hmmm - Excellent, but the color head isn't doing it for me. Would love to see a solid b&w. From the tumbnail I thought it was some sand, pottery thing you were doing.

Gayle P. Clement		17-Dec-2004 20:18
Hmmm...how did it look with the binkie in color instead? You're a nut, Robin.

Leo Charette		17-Dec-2004 19:58
humm.. I guess call it a binkie... go figure.

Leo Charette		17-Dec-2004 19:56
Me thinks you're not in Kansas anymore. Well at least you're dressed... though you do seem a bit pale in places. Nice use of selective coloring, though a little color on the blinky would have been good too ;) BTW, today I linked to your image of yesterday because I so appreciated your comments. Thanks.

Guest		17-Dec-2004 19:47
This is really funny...I like the light alot, but WHY the selective color? (there, a crituque!)

Herb		17-Dec-2004 19:28
