I am sort of in agreement with Cotty. Sort of. I find the background distracting too, while I like his glasses and expression. But that stuff (bright/dark patches) to the right could go. And/or bring up the shadow detail to show his clothing hanging in the van for more of an environmental photo.

He's got such a great face - can you not crop him right down to just face and some body? I find the background too distracting, and the horizontal framing disturbs me, and you know how I get when I'm disturbed. -- Cheers, Cotty --------------------------------------------- Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
