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....

B.D. - Love it to the extent that one can love something, that to me 
anyway, has so much tension in it.  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.
