There's a lot of food for thought in the recent messages from Mike, Joe, Stan and Doug. I'm going to try out some of the ideas of the next couple of days and post another slide show with the result.
I do have a shot of the slippers I bought at one of the tanneries, but I don't think it really fits with what I'm trying to do. http://www.web-options.com/Fez3.jpg I like the idea of opening with the shot of the young man holding the skin (although I must disagree with Doug about its Botticelli-like qualities! Are you sure you weren't thinking of botulism?): http://www.web-options.com/Tanneries/content/_9289063_large.html and perhaps finishing with the wider overview, which Doug thinks is a better opener than my current one: http://www.web-options.com/Tanneries/content/_9299169_large.html Stan's detailed suggestions are very useful indeed. I'll play around a bit. Some of them which I like a lot I have to drop because they have technical faults, such as highlights beyond the point of rescue. Whatever their other qualities, the RPS judges just won't even consider them if they have gross technical faults. Thanks!
