Death, destruction, people with weapons - wait, that was another thread. Okay, keeping in mind that I have very low standards for myself, I'd be very happy with this one. You caught the child perfectly mid-stride (not an easy thing to do with scooters and skateboards and the like) and ~also~ in just the right position in the frame (between the doors and those black poles). The geometry in this is amazing. Whether the face is blown out or not, I guess I'd prefer a bit more detail in it, but that lack of detail isn't enough to turn take this good photo and turn it into a bad one. In other words (god I'm feeling inarticulate this evening!) I like it a lot. Now I must leave the office, go home and eat dinner. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
