The second one's wonderful; the first one is amazing! The open mouths (of course) seal the deal. A terrific photo in its own right, it will be a treasured family keepsake for you and yours.

Many thanks to those of you who commented on my PAW. Kostas
RE: PAW: G and A
Hi Kostas, Two nice photographs, the first nicer than the other and I'd like to attempt an explanation, at least of what went on in my mind. In the first my eye fell on a bright spot towards the top left of the picture and it was a tiny movement to your son's face. The rest of the picture fit the original impression and created an impression of two siblings getting to know each other. Wonderful. In the second my eye was drawn to your son's dark hair because for me it dominated the left (from where I started looking.) A moment for spent deciding if there was anything there worth attention there, deciding there wasn't and moving on. By then some of the expected "moment" was lost. That's a little fuzzy but it's the best I'm able to explain right now. Another thing I liked more about the first picture is that your son is looking directly into your daughter's eyes and that to me brought out the idea (two siblings getting to know each other. Two human beings recognizing one another.) In the second your son appears to be looking at your daughter's eyebrows or forehead. That detracts from the message. All said and done, these are two very nice pictures. Regards, Gautam > -Original Message- > On Sep 11, 2005, at 2:28 PM, Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: > > > > > Never posted a PAW before.

Hi! Never posted a PAW before. This is actually two, but very similar pictures. I would normally dislike the first one, as I have chopped the son's head on the left: http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/%7ekavousan/GandA.jpg (<100KB) However this one I like less, but do you agree/understand why? http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/%7ekavousan/GandA2.jpg (<100KB) Both are with the MZ-50, one of my 50s, Tri-X [EMAIL PROTECTED], scanned from (traditional machine process, not digital scan, and B&W paper) print using a bottom-line Canon scanner. Kostas, I definitely like the first one better. It is much more "interactive" to me. Otherwise, both are excellent snaps for family album (<-- a compliment)... Thanks! Boris
Re: PAW: G and A
I like them both. I think the reactions are a little more animated and interesting on the first. As you noted the frame is better on the second. Tough choice, but both are quite nice.
