Well, a shot (Panorama) of a side walk cafe is not very interesting without people in it, is it? (I assume you didn't bother to looke at my photographs - that's all right, I like them anyway). Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Kenneth Waller

I like the dark tones and contrast, the interaction of the stairwell and window geometries with the natural world outside. I don't think the tilt adds anything ... I'd like it more without that. Godfrey On Nov 9, 2005, at 5:51 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Another shot from last weekend's
