Re: PESO: Seattle Public Library
Jay, I hadn't realized you were in Seattle. I hope someday we'll connect--let me know if you're ever in Philly. Your shot is great--I like the position of the person and the color.

Re: PESO: Seattle Public Library
David, Doug, Paul, Godfrey, Marnie, Thanks for your comments! I agree that the second shot is a bit bland--the angles on the building are very dramatic, but hard to capture. Next time I'm in SEA I'll try again. Rick --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 12/15/2007 8:33:08 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Crop it square ... Like it!

Re: PESO: Seattle Public Library
Can't comment on the rendering. I'm using my daughter's PC laptop. But in terms of subject matter and composition, I llike the first and third very much. Paricularly that first shot of the facade.
