Re: [Leica] Nathan's PAW 30: Costa Blanca, Spain

Nathan,
    I'd agree with some others that the cat shot is my favorite.  There
certainly isn't a bad shot in the lot, though the one of the tourists in
which one can see through the woman's dress isn't one I'd like on my wall.
;-) I think I like the cat one best because of the cat's expressive posture
and eyes.  The composition in so many of the shots is very skillful, but
there's no beating an expressive set of eyes, human or animal.
Regards,
Michael Gerard
