I ddn't see it before, but having seen it now, I agree with marnie, it looks a bit too 'arranged', and I think the framing highlights that. If someone were (say) to shoot a staged pic for a newspaper or magazine on young drinkers, this is what I would expect to see, ex\specially as it's vertical format. As a standalone image I'm not keen. I don't like the legs chopped off. Social shots like this that are 'tight' do nothing for me. I oike them a lot looser, let's see what's around and about, probably a horizontal format showing the drinker in her entirety. Just my preference, and you did ask ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
