Yeah, much better. I don't wish to see any more of her face, but prefer to imagine her total expression and mood. Like the mystery aspect. Jack --- On Sun, 1/17/10, paul stenquist wrote: > From: paul stenquist > Subject: PESO: Questioning Eyes, Recrop > To: "Pentax-Discuss

yes and no - to me the recrop totally changes the meaning of the image - in the uncropped, the angle of his head as judged from his ears has him potentially staring at the ponytailed blonde in the background so the eyes potentially notice his stare and lack of attention - oh yeah, 5 bucks chauvinis
