Well, I'll chime in with my praise for Dag's photo. It's not just the concept, it's the execution, the perfect framing, and most of all (for me), that LX and lens are so beat up and scratched! Love it. BTW, there's a very similar photo that I've seen on TV at the beginning of a show, here in Canada. I'm trying to remember what it is. For some reason, I'm thinking it's on a TVO (TV Ontario) documentary series of some sort, but I just can't put my finger one it. Whatever it is, I doubt that Dag would have ever seen it in Denmark. The one that I'm thinking of uses a Hassy, and of course, the image on the focusing screen is different. And, Dag's looks better anyway. If I can find it somewhere on the TVO website, I'll post it. Great shot, Dag. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
