Shel, It made it the first time, just not time to comment yet. Briefly, I like the first one - good eye contact and the peeling pole gives it a nice sense of place. I wish it were just a touch brighter near his eyes, maybe lighten a bit.
The second shot, I don't care for so much - mostly because he is not looking at all towards me, mostly looks like he was trying to dodge the picture. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, January 10, 2005, 3:41:57 PM, you wrote: SB> Once again a post didn't seem to make it to the list ....
