Philippe -- I considered "straightening" things at the time I made the original image. But I decided that I didn't want it to be "perfect". I often make just the kind of image corrections that you suggested and, sometimes, I think that it results in, for the lack of a better word, a sterile image. Maybe the word "static" could be substituted for "sterile". So, I decided to not correct the tilt of the frame (it is crooked on the wall) and to crop part off part of Jean's arm -- to leave the image imperfect and to, perhaps, inject some tension or energy into it. Do you think it works? Dave. -- Web Site: www.david-keenan.com 2007 PAW: www.david-keenan.com/paw 2006 EuroBlog: www.david-keenan.com/euroblog
