[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks, Richard...One interesting thing about this one is that I have someone I routinely send images back and forth with the simple subject line - "Is this something?" What we send are images that we think has something special, but we just aren't sure. Sometimes the reply is an immediate yes, sometimes it's 'no, but it's close, if only you'd...' and sometimes it's "Nope." This was a "nope." I like it none the less, because among other things, I think you can look at it and wonder what's really going on - is the girl (it's a girl) sleeping, is she eyeing the guy's wallet, or what....and that, to me, gives it the ambivalence it needs...but maybe it doesn't. Last week's image, btw, was a definite "Yes." Even if I am in it. :-) And, btw, thanks for going back and thinking some more about some of these.... -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard S.

My first reaction was to think you should have framed down more but then with a second look, the sleeping man, the broad back and the positioning all made sense. I've been looking quizzically at your PAW of last week on and off for over a week and only finally got it yesterday. Finding a way into other people's pictures is sometimes a slow process. >http://gallery.leica-users.org/B-D-COLEN-PAW/Catch > >Love it, hate it, ignore it.
