    What a fascinating theme Paula! I am going to have to think about this one! But like Arkenaten I did think perhaps a selfie.
    I love this shot but i keep wanting to remove that stray hair by rubbing the screen.

      yes, that’s the imperfection I was talking about and left it on purpose. I chose the theme cause everyone has imperfect photos in their archives. Speaking of imperfect, did you manage to get a response/solution about image galleries?

        No, I have to admit I haven’t raised it yet. I was doing a bit of research. I think it might be something to do with the size of the image. In Facebook there are certain sizes of image that survive compression better than others and by pure chance the size I compress to is a good one. I’m wondering if images of larger file size suffer in the galleries. I’ll let you know what else I fond out and I’ll raise it when i have that data

          I don’t use fb so I can’t comment on that, but it affects your images on WP, and I’m afraid it’s not the issue of sizes. I’ve tried before.

    Here’s my pick for this week Paula. I usually delete my imperfect photos- it always upsets me when what I thought would be a great capture fails to be. https://dailymusing57.com/2017/05/07/black-white-sunday-imperfect/

    Until Debbie pointed it out, I couldn’t see anything wrong with the image. It looks great in black and white, nice contrast, good composition, such a cute fellow … but once seen, can’t stop looking at it. Very interesting challenge, Paula.

    Sometimes, imperfections can be what makes a photo interesting. OK, I see a stray hair, but my eyes are drawn to those eyes. Beautiful.

      Many thanks, Draco. It feels great to look a monkey in the eye :D. I was hoping for a different reaction from bloggers – I thought that this theme might encourage others to share their imperfections and that it would be educational for all of us, but people are still timid to show their own faults. 😆
