Thanks, Larry Re your question about the last photo, taken in my friend's apartment After I looked up who "Quan Yin" is, it turns out to be the pillow being in there made a lot of sense (aside from my liking the geometry). my friend Barbara made that pillow - she is a professional  needlepointer - and her existence in my life has certainly been comforting.  Also , her black cat ,Tata has been a comfort to me as well.. we call him my boyfriend.  and Tata recently lost his buddy when Barb's other cat Momo, at only ten years old, suddenly died of a heart attack a few months ago.  Barb and Tata were needing a lot of comfort then. I shot that photo setting the camera at ISO 400 when Tata jumped up on the window sill.. a few quick shots with the custom setting on the camera for outside street stuff have had the camera in my hands after showing Barb that Union sq shot on the back. I had to darken highlights in Elements and cropped a bit to get rid of some outside glare .. Tata was moving a bit.  ISO 400 in low light on the Coolpix is pretty grainy. :-( ann On 5/6/2021 1:00 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > >> On May 5, 2021, at 9:48 PM, ann sanfedele <annsan@nyc.rr.com> wrote: >> >> still working things out.. the 4th photo is in a neighbor's apartment..

Yes, when I saw the focus was on the pillow rather than the cat, the title watching made sense, as in Quan Yin was watching over Tata. -- Larry Colen lrc@red4est.com
