The young lady does look like she has had one turn around too much, yes. The composition does not work for me. I don't find anything to focus my eyes in this picture. At first it is just a lot of red and white. I believe one of the reasons is the rather odd (obscure) format.
I also find it hard to rest my eyes at the girl, mainly because of the distracting background (with the same strong colours, competing with the object). How about B&W? That might do the trick. Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian.) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C. Clarke, or some other clever guy) -----Original Message----- From: pancho hasselbach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2. juli 2005 20:18 To: [email protected] Subject: PESO: no fun Hi, I saw this young lady some weeks ago when I was in Wetzlar, the next town to Giessen which is where I live http://www.vollholz.de/peso/no_fun.html (taken with FA 43 Ltd on superia 100) For those who don't know, Wetzlar is the home of Leica :-) There are some points in the photo I'm not really happy with, apart from focus (which does not always matter as I understood) it's the framing. I find the pole on the lower left distractive, but I didn't want to cut off from the sun. Anyway, it was catch it or leave it and I think I caught. Comments welcome! pancho
