Hi Frank, As others, I'd prefer something midway through both of the images. The sharp one almost looks artificial.
But in any case--I hadn't had the chance to see this the first time you posted. It's fantastic! Excellent photo, and a great example of color that works, somehow it feels like in b&w this picture would not be as strong. Way to go! j On 8/14/05, frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As a result of an off-list discussion, I modified this one that I > initially posted yesterday, in two ways: > > First, on the original, I sharpened only the jumper, and not the > background, with the result that the background is more OOF-looking > than on the print.
