I think it works well having one sharp and the other out of focus. I'm a bit confused about the ropes and focus...it seems like the leftmost vertical rope should be out of focus like the rope to which it attaches...but it's sharp. I wonder if it would have been a stronger image if you had placed them a little higher in the frame, allowing more roping and their entire tails in the image. Still, I like it. Re: http://home.wanadoo.nl/michiel.fokkema/Fotografie/paw2004/29.html A nice shot of your daughter with lovely lighting. Again I wonder about a slight shift in framing, perhaps by cropping in from the right and the top to make the image seem both more cozy and more dynamic. I've taken the liberty of cropping your image to show you what I mean...I hope you don't mind. I also zapped the distracting highlight just to the left of her head. http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/Temp/Michiel_redo.jpg The others, while technically good, don't appeal to me, personally, as much. I hope you find these comments helpful, even if you don't agree...that's how they are intended. Best, and thanks for showing, Aaron At 07:04 PM 8/27/2004, you wrote: >Hello, > >I'm catching up a bit with my PAW. there is more to come if the weather >stays as bad as it is. > >Week 26 are two pictures of the river Maas which flows through Rotterdam >This is the new bridge also known as the swan. >http://home.wanadoo.nl/michiel.fokkema/Fotografie/paw2004/26.html >A typical radar post at the Maas. >http://home.wanadoo.nl/michiel.fokkema/Fotografie/paw2004/26a.html > > >We were in the monkey zoo in Apeldoorn.
