Jack, This has a Sci-Fi-Fi quality to it that I cannot quite explain. I am lost on Photo.net at the moment; the transformation leads me to believe I have walked into The Twilight Zone. (I would very much like to return to ordinary reality.) -
The Bicyclist's Guide to the Universe

What Carlos said! This is gripping, puzzling, and funny at the same time. Thanks--I needed that! (Which are you reading lately: Sarte or Camus? Or perhaps for absurdity the NY Times?) -
Have you been hanging out with Alan Greenspan again? The title tickled me so! (I need some laughs these days.) -
This gets my highest praise: Erwittian! -
Ah, comedy.... -
Henry? -
Early Morning Sun and Shadows in My Apartment

I concur with D.G.: magic. Perhaps you are transforming into Gandalf, Jack. That would explain the wizardry in your photographs. -
december 2016 - transition White Car, Early Morning
dankapsner commented on Jack McRitchie's gallery image in Street
As others have pointed out the geometry is lovely, but there is something else here: the pearly tones and the figure on the right suggest there is magic in the air. -
The rim lighting and the crop create an elegant mystery. I like the "grain" in this photograph, although it appears to be digital in origin. -

What lovely tones in this homey subject. If you had told me Josef Sudek had shot this long ago I would have believed you. I love the look of some of the earlier photographers and this captures that feeling wonderfully. -
Wonderful, curious, and witty... -
A touching image, framed perfectly; the hint of grain and the out of focus face add to the emotional tension. I am a softy: it got me! -

Strong sense of being there. Great sense of depth and nice tonality. Did this dog raise Romulus and Remus? -

Strong image, reminiscent of Paul Strand's "Blind" photograph of the early 1900s. However, I think the excessive contrast works against the image, not for it. -
Crazy, comic, sublime. -
You're giving my funnybone quite a work out lately, Jack, but don't worry, I can take it. In fact I rather need it lately. I love this photograph: the elemental calm of the composition is a delight to the eye and the tones are subtle and yet rich and work to perfection. -
I agree with Carlos. -
I rather like this myself; again, it is "just so!" -
Why am I reminded of the opening to "Sunset Boulevard?" As I recall, William Holden is floating dead in a swimming and narrating the story. I guess every picture tells a story, whether intended or not. -
It rather looks like the ostriches have come to look at the people. Nice tones--everything works, particularly your persistent dry wit. -
This harks back to another time in photography; if you had told me that Eve Arnold or Eugene Smith had done this I would have believed it without hesitation. Love the quiet tones and the sense of mystery. This is the real thing. How come you're not with Magnum? -
Your Erwittian sense of humor is showing again.... -
I think this may also qualify as comedy, Jack. Truly, Marcel Duchamp's got nothin' on you. I think you're entering your Dada phase. I am delighted to see it. -
She does, indeed! She's a blue ballerina, dancing through the streets. What a lovely, whimsical photograph, composed with grace and style.
