Thank you, Igor! > From that perspective, I'd say that lack of focus on the guy in > NAJ54780.jpg makes it not as strong.

Thank you for the feedback on the photos — selecting/pruning down photos is something I struggle with, and I really appreciate getting your opinion as well as the rationale behind it. I really wish the guy in NAJ54762 had a more interesting expression — ah, well, perhaps I selected it for the photo I hoped for. I kinda like 54533, but I have to agree with you on 54780 — I wish the focus was reversed. > > > PS.

He thinks about the K1 24/7. When he finally gets one, I’m not sure he’ll know what to spend his time thinking about. On a separate note, I need to check that lens, it wasn’t focusing well at all... > Cheers! > > Igor > > > > Nicole Jacque Tue, 24 May 2016 23:47:43 -0700 wrote: > > You’ve all seen Larry’s photos, here’s my version of BluesQuake: > > https://flic.kr/s/aHskx7ZRij > > > I didn’t get to spend as much time editing as I’d like, unfortunately — this > is the crazy season at work before our big developers conference… I did have > a chance to play with my 360 degree camera on the dance floor though.
