Very nice IMNSHO I like the slight tilt to the frame,and the golden hue in the girls hair. Something i missed at first was the blurred hand folding of her. I like the expression,one of seeking solitude in a public place. Good job again Jaun Dave > The beauty

I like this shot. For reasons others have stated pretty well already. I'd like it better if one could see a bit more of the face of the woman behind her. But it's a nice overlay, a nice juxtaposition. As if the main figure (woman) is looking for something in the bar. While the woman behind her

Juan, I can't honestly say that this particular shot did a whole lot for me... however (!) your email did at least give me the opportunity to peruse through the rest of your photo galleries. In doing so, I found your photos (the street photos in particular) quite impressive, and very inspiring in

I like the lighting and the range of gentle colors. I like the expression on the woman's face. I like the second woman just peeking in from the left. It's a moment in time in an interesting place. When I opened it, I found that I was interested enough to study it for a minute or two. To me, tha

Wow, thanks Cotty! Shel: I only posted it to my blog and here because I liked the colors of the light and the girl. Technically, the focus could be about 15cm farther, and maybe the girl behind the main subject could be more to the right. But that's the way it was, and obviously I liked it enough.

I agree with Cotty, looks like a shot with a specific theme or message in mind. She looks nervous or apprehensive by the expression and restless fingers. Kind of a "Life's worries too much?" sorta thing. Very nice capture, I like it a lot. Don > -Original Message- > From: Juan Buhler [mai

Hi, Juan ... This isn't a very good or interesting photo other for the slightly intriguing color cast from the lights in the bar. There's no story - just a woman sitting at the bar staring off somewhere, no interaction of people with one another or with the photographer. The composition is, at

By her or by the other pretty girl who was with me? :-) No, I was sitting at the bar for a while, sipping a martini and taking pictures, sometimes with an off-camera flash. Nobody seemed to care, beyond a sideways glance. Thanks Paul, j On Sat, 15 Jan 2005 20:52:08 +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EM
