You got that last one >and you knew you had it. I go through the takes and can almost feel that >you knew what you were looking for, you just hadn't got there yet. When I >get to the last one I too got the feeling ... "yep, that's it". I started to comment out that page, but finally left it the way it was, like you pointed out, you can see as it progresses what I was going for, as each element gets picked up, the image fills out, and, eventually, there it is. >I also admired your patience ... and hers :) I once remarked to my girlfriend "so-and-so, she's a great model" and my girlfriend, looking down at whatever photo it was said "what makes her so great?" to which I replied "she shows up on time." which really is my first gauge of how good a model is. But there are certianly other characteristics, one of which is a devotion to the final product. You can ask a good model to run down a hallway 150 times in a row because they're trying their best to get that last image, the one where everybody goes "yup! That's the one!" >Best, >Daniel > >PS: Did you prefocus the shot to avoid the rangefinder flare? I did prefocus indeed. :-) Thanks for asking, Kyle
