I want to NOT LIKE this image, yet for some reason am inexplicably drawn to it. Maybe because I wish to walk across the bridge. Maybe it's cropped right at the point where I wish to see more of the bench on the left and rail on the right, making me wonder what lies outside the frame and a little cognitive dissonance in my reaction. I like the color version the best and the revamped b&w version comes in 2nd. Thumbs up. :-) Tom C.. -- 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.
