Photo: the mask
BEST thing I like: The black mask on black background... really made the colors jump.
Camera: Pentax Optio 60
What I like LEAST: Lighting was minimal... the colors are actually even more vivid than shown( for instance the red is a true scarlet).
********************************************
This mask was a school project from my daughter during her Jr. or Sr. year in the highschool. I have always admired the workmanship and vivid colors. It has found a permanent place on top of the bookcase.

Photo: Mr charles
BEST thing I like: What I like in this photograph, it is that it treats of a subject which involved me personally: repatriates of Indo-China. I am myself half Vietnamese. This photo was taken in old refugee camps, I wanted to symbolize the loneliness of these old repatriates and to show the social isolation in which they live...homesickness. How the French government gave up.
Camera: This photo was taken with Voigtlander Bessa RA3, and an 21mm color skopar lens .
What I like LEAST: i f i have to work again on a technical aspect , i would try to correct the bright sky in the windows zone because it almost burn.
**********************************************************************
MR charles, half French half Vietnamese veteran of the Indochina war, i took this picture in The CAFI CAMP (Centre d’Accueil des Français d’Indochine) located south west of France .
Mr charles live in this camps since 1966.
After The shellacking Of Mai 1954, French authority, had the duty to repatriate all the fighters and their family in France Like thousand of French Vietnamese "repatriates" and not refuges, (that mean they have the French citizenship, for being married with a French, or because they served under the French Flag).
.
France had to compensate them financially for the matérial losses .
They just received a shelter, and a "promise of compensation" which never came!
They where supposed to stay in camps just a few month, temporary become an eternity. In April 1956 more than 1200 people, including 740 children, arrived in the camp.
The young generation left the camps and were integrated quickly with local population.
But the older stay or come back to the camp , this place was for them synonymous of a "little Vietnam"... to old to start a new life , they prefer to stay there.

Photo: Icicle the Albino Squirrel
BEST thing I like: I could say something about composition of lighting, but what I really like best about this photo is that it reminds me very much of my old pet rat, Tiny.
Camera: Canon Powershot A550.
What I like LEAST: The background could be darker, which would give it more impact. I suppose this could be done in photoshop, but I lack the skills. Also, Icicle looks a bit mean here. He was actually very friendly.

Photo: Hey... are you going to eat that????
Like the Best: - Diesel's expression, the water in the background, the soft slanting light on the salmon, and how the design on the plate matches the tablecloth. You can also see the sun setting on the edge of the plate.
Most of all, totally spontaneous.
Camera: - Sony Ericcson K750i
Like the Least: .- I wish the photo had better resolution. Much of the detail of the water at the top of the photo is lost.
**********************************
Diesel eyeing the last piece of grilled salmon but..... she had to settle for the skin.
