Tim,
I'm very grateful that you did not only watch this picture but also lost
some words about it.
I wasn't very happy about the image quality, just happy of having caught
the moment rather than having not.
B&W didn't come to my mind as it is a scan from color film, but I gave
it a try and a little crop, I think this really works better:

It's probably a bit harsh, but it is less distracting, I think.
Thank you for your valuable input!

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.

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!
