Another commenting on an old PAW. I like # 3 best, by far. The fellow seems nicely relaxed, and I like the bottle and glasses on the table - puts the photo in some sort of context. Not that context is always needed, but it works here. The others aren't bad, but there's something about them, perhaps because they seem candid, the subjects don't look entirely comfortable to me. Especially #1. She just looks like she isn't ready for the photo to be taken. There's a line between spontanaety and comfortability that is somehow not defined in these (other than #3) photos. Again, it's not that they're bad (far from it), they just pale in comparison to the best shot of the gallery, IMHO cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
