PESO - Practice, Practice, Practice
She was just standing there, playing her guitar. She wasn't busking or asking for money (no hat or cup on the ground in front of her), she was just leaning against that pole, playing. Not singing, just playing her guitar. People don't usually do that unless they're asking for change. I thought all that made her somewhat interesting and different: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2011/06/practice-practice-practice.html Hope you enjoy.

Re: PESO - Practice, Practice, Practice
Nice. I like the repetition of her form in the form of the man walking behind her. I think I'd consider cloning out the car in the background for this photo ... It doesn't add anything and it pulls my eye upwards hoping to see something there. G On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 4:36 AM, frank theriault wrote: > She was just standing there, playing her guitar.

Re: PESO - Practice, Practice, Practice
Yeah, I can relate. Not difficult to understand all the reasons you may have found her "interesting." ;) Also, like the inclusion of the disinterested background guy.

If, however, I just wanted a shot of her playing guitar, rather than her playing for a disinterested audience, I'd crop the top just above her hat and just to the right of the guitar, cropping out both the guy and the car. While this crop would lose the whimsy of the counterpoint between the two, I think that it would be a stronger composition on pure aesthetics. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.

it looks like she isnt using a guitar strap, that's probably why shes holding the guitar funny. -- J.C.
