Shimmering Curtain
I really don’t do well in groups, which you’ve probably already figured out.
So this may not surprise you. There was a woman in our group in London who got on my very last nerve. She was good, too: she didn’t gradually have that effect on me. It was instant, from the very first time she spoke.
Then, later, on the bus, just after I made this photo, she tapped me on the shoulder to explain how my picture wouldn’t work, that it would only show foggy windows and nothing else. A regular photo critic, she was.
Anyway, it looks like she was right, and I’m being far to harsh about the situation. That shouldn’t surprise you, either.

Hmm, how did she know that you didn’t have a thing about foggy windows?

What’s the opposite of “self-aware”? Because that’s what she was!

Looks like she took a left at Wrong, then twice around the block for Incorrect.
Some people.

Evidently since Iike it I will never make it as a critic 😦

I wouldn’t even worry about it, if I were you! You’re my most consistent commenter, which is WAY better than being a critic!

Mmmm. Yum. Foggy windows and nothing else.

Yes! That’s what I liked about it, because with just that little bit of red, it summed up the day.

Thank you, Anne Marie! I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I’d say that when you add colour, it’s as if you’d smile, but it’s not precise. It’s like a splash of colour in a black&white movie, as Von Trier did in “Europa”.

I tried this in b&w, but it really needed that bit of red to make the image make sense. (Does THAT make sense?)

Nope. Not one bit. And she never will, I don’t think.
