I like this one, but... I don't often say much more than whether I like or dislike a photo, but today I will: I think the right side of the frame isn't doing much for this photo. I'd be inclined to turn this into a square(ish) frame and crop out everything to the right of the blond head of hair - in fact I might crop out about a third of that hair, so that you just crop out the right-hand edge of that green Democrat sign. Do that and I think it would improve things greatly. Also the waitress' face is a but hot: maybe tone that down a bit? I think there's a really good photo in there that wants to be brought out. ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
