Hi Lee,

Catching up my viewing, I like the following of your recent PAWs:

Zoom (May 12): great expression, focus, just the right depth of field.

New World (May 19): at first I thought that the picture is boring and
unbalanced, with all the interest in the left side. But then I noticed the funny
juxtaposition of the green light and the guy in jeans walking by, and now I like
it. I do think it would have worked better if you had moved in closer and if the
other guy with the umbrella were not there, but of course you could not control
that.

I confess that the visual experiments on May 26 do not strike me as particularly
worthwhile, but then again, I have seen pictures like this enlarged to mural
size and exhibited as Art, so what do I know ;-)
