Godfrey, here is what I have to say. First, the 51. It really works. But I think it would really shine if you included more of a person on the left. In fact, it would be an interesting exercise (at least to me) in composition, to look at both what I suggested and your version and compare them. Still, great stuff. Second, the 52. There are two bright areas just beneath the man's legs... To me they seem to be distracting. I want to concentrate on his pose and general atmosphere of the shot - that of pondering... Yet, those two bright spots - they pop into my eyes and drag my attention away - not good me thinks. I should also say that it is rather interesting to see how the lens you used was changing throughout the time... It seems you've found new favorite in FA 35/2. Boris -- Boris
