Thanks Bob. I could paint out the partial body, but then I'd have to
paint out the woman behind the partial as well. That would leave only
the one woman in the foreground, which would be odd.

Paul,
I don't know how you get the partial body on the right out of there.
Would it be stronger with the pair of girls passing in the other
direction,
with their backs toward us? The group approaching from the back helps
establish the passing street traffic theme.
Regards, Bob S.

I wasn't going to post this until next week since I already posted two
shots this weekend. But I see there's a shortage of conversation here
anyway (longest sentence? :-), so I figured what the hay. Anyway, the
guy in the pic is named Paul Miles. He's a Michigan Blues singer who
works the Birmingham streets on busy days. He's also recorded a couple
of CDs (my pic on the cover of one). He's appeared in a number of
blues
festivals and various other venues around the country. He's quite good
and a very nice guy. I shot this with the FA 35/2, converted to BW in
PS using the channel mixer. It was quite dark when I shot it, so I
tried the on-camera flash at ISO 800. I have some other pics from
slightly earlier without the flash, but I sometimes like the retro
look
of BW flash pics. I tried several different crops and settled on
retaining the cut-off figure on the right. I think it helps the idea
of
a passing crowd. I wonder how others feel about this partial body. By
the way, this prints rather nicely on the Epson 2200 with the standard
ink set. I'm printing more BW inkjet these days and liking the
results.
