[Leica] IMG: smoke break

[scoutfinch at chartermi.net (Susan Ryan)]

My personal preference is for the B&W. The lack of color, especially  
of the back wall, makes it even more abstract. Both are really cool,  
though, I had to keep going back and forth to figure out what it was  
about the B&W that made me prefer it.

I think the guy's pants kind of balloon on the inside of the legs,  
then change direction because of all the fabric around his ankles.
