Frank ... I'm glad it's not really a PAW because it misses the mark a little. Doesn't work for me at all.
Frank Capra is said to have said "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." All that wall on the left doesn't add a thing to the photo. It appears you could have gotten closer, and shown a little more of what was going on in the shop window, too. There's what seems to be a nice contrast, a nice offset, between the woman with the cigarette and the scene in the window. The cat ears on the hat are barely visible ... I'd have liked to have seen more of those ears. The expression on the woman's face is great. Clearly she enjoyed having you photograph her. Did you get her phone number for future modeling shots? It would be great if you could get a better scanner ... I should talk - I don't even have one. Hmm, maybe I should get a sign and stand by the freeway exit, sign saying "Will work for scanner." shel frank theriault wrote: > > Hi, all, > > I haven't been around much these last few days.
