Quite a magical little moment considered it was the centre of London. B Pub tables look much better with glasses of real ale on them. For bare pub tables, though, these are okay.

I had pondered that dress issue myself, but nobody mentioned it so I left it as-is. Unfortunately I can't go looser with this particular shot, it's the full uncropped image already, but I tried a crop shifting the lower-right corner inward to snip the top of the dress. That looks pretty good, I think ... http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2254722/1/PDML?h=e7f676 What I really need to do is repose this one, or something similar. I was wanting to keep a hint of decolletage, ok cleavage specifically :), but I hadn't framed low enough to include a little more dress so it wouldn't look all 1.5T. That's a great signalling protocol, BTW. Dunno why I haven't encountered it before. :-) I took Capa's closer remark quite literally a while back and if anything I may be too often *too* close, going in really tight and accidentally leaving important stuff out of the frame. I have to spend more time considering my subject(s) and deciding what to keep. Egads this photography stuff is hard work. It would be so much simpler for me to simply collect lenses and twiddle their focus rings occasionally.

Re: PESO Iryna 2
I attempted to balance your suggestion and Cotty's, but I was unhappy with how much Iryna disappeared when I cropped both corners of the frame. Maybe I need to leave it on screen longer and see if it grows on me, but I found that I prefer her eyes to not drift too close to the LH side. Is that little triangle *that much* of a distraction? Hmmm, I s'pose I could clone in some more hair up there ...

Re: I Blurbed too...
Love it Bong! And there are some sensational shots in there! A really great, versatile collection! On another note, and I absolutely mean no disrespect when I say this, but it always brings a smile to my face when I read/type your name. :-) Tan.x Sent from my iPhone On 29/07/2011, at 1:03 PM, Bong Manayon bongmana...@gmail.com wrote: I just used Blurb to make my professional portfolio (you know, the show-off stuff you present to would be clients...).

Re: PESO Iryna 2
Is that little triangle *that much* of a distraction? Hmmm, I s'pose I could clone in some more hair up there ...

Re: PESO Iryna 2
The green triangle looks completely natural, and not particularly distracting. I think you're over thinking this. I disagree, the lack of distracting elements is one indication of a crafted image IMO, one that has been studied and thought about, as opposed to a quick snap - which this image isn't.

Re: PESO Iryna 2
How about selecting that green triangle and just darkening it, either by burning in or reducing the luminance? That might get rid of the distraction without having to crop tighter. -p On 7/28/2011 11:38 PM, Ken Waller wrote: The green triangle looks completely natural, and not particularly distracting.
