Re: PAW: Lee and Tim, Blowing

This version certainly gives the picture a lot more more ooomph, but for  
my taste the crop on the guitarist is too tight.  It's that right arm  
that's making the music, and if we can't see it, the guy becomes rather  
irrelevant.  This is a pity, because although he may not be in focus, to  
me he's still a vital part of the picture.

Well, thanks ... but as was pointed out in another message, it doesn't  
tell
the whole story that I think Frank was trying to convey (F and I were
talking off list).  However, I did another fiddle last night that I sent  
to
Frank directly as it was late and I was tired and cranky, and didn't feel
like uploading it.  In that one I brought down the tone of the horn
player's sweater (which, IMO, was a real distraction), cropped  the shot
tightly but kept the guitar player in the  frame, got rid of the  
background
distraction, and fiddled with the skin tomes.  It was a crummy Photoshop
job - real quick just to get a sense of what was possible and to share an
idea or two with Frank.

There are certainly many ways to interpret a scene.
