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.
Anyway--no need to try to like it! If we all liked the same photos the world would be even more boring than it already is :-) j On Sat, 15 Jan 2005 23:42:31 +0000, Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 15/1/05, Shel Belinkoff, discombobulated, unleashed: > > <http://www.jbuhler.com/blog/archives/00000166.html> > > >OK, since I find this to be very much less than a good shot, would you (or > >anyone) be kind enough to explain what makes it good and why you like it. > >I'd like to keep an open mind on this. > > > > Sure.
