I love the basic premise of this "polaroid" series as you know, Rosie. SO why am I not convinced by this one? It may be something as silly as the rows of shoes (feet) on the upper left - they irritate ｍy eye somehow. Or maybe it's the too perfect alignment of doggie and the girl behind him, I just don't know. The flag is a nice, topical touch (a much overused, over brandished icon since 9/11 of course...)
I cannot make myself clear here, and yet something... The other two I commented on were an immediate "yes!" and Wham Bang, bravo, cool. Here I'm, kind of stuck but I feel I should like it more...than I do.
All the best,
Francis

To Furachan: all done..
Thanks Francis for your thoughts- they make excellent sense. The fact is that I'm getting tired of Polaroids.. and I suspect one was enough for everyone else as well. I'm looking forward to heading back to nice, old, comfortable black and white, so I just put this one up to finish the series. I liked it enough, but your thoughts were very helpful. I agree with you in many ways. Have a great day.

Re: To Furachan: all done..
Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Rosie, I just OWE you an honest statement, which have not always come easy to me. You know I am a steadfast and regular fan of your work, and I genuinely loved the first 2. This one, for me wnet astray, like an afterthoughts...

Re: To Furachan: all done..
Hurt my feelings! Ha. No- it takes a whole lot more than your kind words to hurt my feelings. No, I'm seriously all done with the series and that's all I wanted- an afterthought is exactly what it is. I guess I get easily bored. I hope you'll always feel free to tell me exactly what you think- I'm not prone to bursting out in tears or anything, so don't worry about that. :)
