Trying for a Norman Rockwell look in the coloring and the recognition of familiar American scenes.

Maybe with a pig in the scene ...? :-)

I really like this. (But I prefer more head or no head.) It certainly speaks Rockwell. A month ago I attended an event in Laguna Beach, Pageant of the Masters. It is an odd but very entertaining performance. Art is reproduced on stage with real persons portraying the people/subjects in the piece(s) reproduced, then foregrounds, backgrounds, framing and lighting is introduced to finish the replication. This year Rockwell was a featured artist and this shot could have been in the performance, accompanied by live orchestration and a narrator talking of Rockwell and the country fair with the missing pig. ;)

You'll have to take my word for the pig. :)

Please show more from the county fair, even if not 'Rockwellesque."

As asked.

I think that pictures should present a clear situation that people can understand. A viewer should know exactly what I was looking at and thought was interesting to show them.
So the pictures that I like of my own tend to be fairly simple and not obscure.
I think a title should be unnecessary in most cases and viewers should be able to understand the situation and, I would hope, it would resonate with them so that they can fill in any gaps with their own memories and experiences.

Lew, the girls looking at the pig is brilliant. Also the sleeping woman is very good as well

Delightful shot, Lew. Nicely seen.
I'm not totally sure I would fade the background burnout to light grey. Might be ok to just let it be bright? But that is the very minor-est of quibbles.

I love all of them but the first.

Thank you all.

Andrea, that was a white building and I think you are right.
