[Leica] comments from one of the judges

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Brian, my thanks to you and the judges for another month of dedicated effort 
for us all.
Would you please pass on my thanks to the judge who made the kind comments 
on my "cell" picture. He or she got from it exactly what
I had in mind. The subject has a desperate and sad history for people sent 
thousands of miles from home and loved ones for trivial
offences.

Cheers
Hoppy

On the whole, I think this was another good month. Some people tried to
interpret the theme literally--many people, actually. Among those, I think
that the non-people images were more successful.

And of course, there were those who just submitted a good picture, regardless
of theme, and there are some really good ones among those images too.

My favourite images were:

Ginger Cat: 4 stars, a lovely cat portrait. The image itself is of course a
bit of a cliche, but it is a nice cliche. The cat's expression, the colours,
the out-of-focus background: everything comes together as it should.

Seaside Lamps: just perfect composition and colours. 5 stars and my personal
winner for this month.

Cell: 4 stars, a compelling image. I cannot quite explain it, but I just kept
looking at it. I think it is because it successfully reproduces what a
locked-up person might experience.

Shaft of Light: 4 stars, again beautiful composition and colours.
