Actually I haven't seen your post nor the response here thus far. On Steve's photo, I'm very interested to see any followup from Steve or others. I had commented that I was distracted a little from the girl's eyes by the sharp detail of the elaborate hairdressing. Always so much to learn here. I think that Steve's model was dressed for some kind of harvest festival event. Just gorgeous costume, to me. The other shot "ribbons" I thought was graphically stronger with hthe lady's hair and the ribbons patterns.

So sorry Steve if there was any kind of misunderstanding about this. I am fully ready to make penance if I have offended any lugger/lister by innocently using the - forbidden? - K word, and to repeat a kilotimes in a row : Keep Cheeky Chicken in each Kitschy Kitchen as a punishment. Will serve me a lesson. Thanks again Phil...x PS I sincerely hope I have not offended anyone, really ;-) . _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
