Your submission http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=871504&size=lg has promise. I think it would have been more effective had it been a vertical shot with much more of the books showing in the stacks. This would have brought attention to where this couple was and made other statements depending on lens choice, timing, and film stock. Lens choice, more telephoto compresses the couple into the books, more wide angle brings distance between the couple and the books. Timing, are they reading, cuddling, intertwined, or facing away from each other? Film stock, color versus B&W, fine grain vs grainy. Color could make an interesting statement if the couple was in colorful clothing and the books were a uniform gray/green or brown. The inverse would also be interesting gray people and colorful books.. Don dorysrus@mindspirng.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
