Cut with the stupid ad hominem nonsense. What I said was: > Hadn't looked at this one, Paul, but I have to agree with David. > There's no sense of connection or intimacy to me.

You're the one who related it to Henri Cartier-Bresson work in your discussion with David Savage. HCB is famous for his street photography, so unless we live in a vacuum that is totally devoid of any kind of logical association, that says you're relating it to HCB's street photography. You are being pissy because someone didn't find your picture very appealing and tried to explain why. Poor you! In fact, what I said agrees with what you just said: it's a technically good photograph with little else to it. I agree with David's take on it. Big fucking deal. If it's so unimportant to you, stuff it and stop the personal innuendo.
