Michael,
    Week 25--like the way you captured the feeling of a conversation in the
main.  Also like the first alternate, but can't really resolve the dog, and
think that the shot of the little girl pushing her doll in a stroller could
be improved by Ted Grant's everpopular "bend the knees" advice.
    Week 26--love the shadow and the textures on the main shot.  Beautiful
stuff.  I also like the varied geometries in the second alternate, but I
might suggest that if that was what you were after, the fence and the human
subject in the foreground, IMHO, are a distraction.
    Week 27--I like the contrast of the parallel lines of the pool with the
curves of the hose lying in it.  The other shots don't do so much for me.
The main, with its off kilter angles and out of focus diving board,
disorients my eye.
Regards,
Michael Gerard
