Well, I ended up preferring the full frame version, so deleted the crop (sorry, Paul!). It was underexposed, likely due to the bright highlights from the strong sunlight. Most of the shot was in the shade, so that was underexposed. I was shooting with the manual Leica, so didn't adjust enough for the shadows. No time to bracket, as seconds after this shot one of the ladies asked me if I could take a shot of them with their camera phone (and I was more than happy to oblige). Just as I was shooting with their camera phone hubby/boyfriend/whoever showed up with a pickup truck to cart away the chairs, so my shooting was done. Maybe one day if I become famous they'll treasure that camera phone shot (which was the best of the three shots I got, dammit!). ;-) Thanks to everyone who commented on both of these versions, and thanks to everyone who looked. 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.
