Well, it just so happened that I had the 24-48 zoom on the LX when I came upon her, and I really didn't want to take the time to change lenses - her parents were just out of the frame, and I didn't want to spook her and have her get all shy and run over to mom and dad. I think the lens ended up being about 30-35mm when I shot, which seemed to work out well. If I had my druthers, yeah, I'd have liked to gotten wider, then closer to the little girl, but like I said, I think I had maybe one or two shots, so I just snapped. Thanks for your thoughts, though, David. Much appreciated. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
