Wow - how interesting. My interpretation is totally the opposite. I find that my interest is only in the faces of the men doing the work. In fact I found myself not caring at all what they were even doing - just that they were concentrating with such intent. I have other shots that show the group as a proper 'four' but chose this one for the very reason you point out - that the object of their attention is dark, almost insignificant. In this case, I found the principal are of interest was the three men standing (their faces) with the sitter a quick glance and nothing more. As Spock would say - fascinating. Thanks for the comments. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- 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.
