Godfrey, very nicely done again - the lighting is just right for the subject, and it's a great subject.
The border round the shots is too heavy for my taste. It takes the eye away from the subject and is causing optical grey dots at the intersections of the grid. If they must have a border, how about 1 pixel wide in a light or medium grey? -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi > Sent: 14 August 2006 21:42 > To: PDML; SeePhoto Talk; PAW > Subject: GESO: Police Badges - second set > > I sent around a link to the first set of these antique police badges > a couple of weeks ago and mentioned that I had another set coming in > to photograph.
