"BUT DON'T TOUCH!" Orders from our boss at the time! :-) Obviously we can see this from your fine selection in this post.:-) I'm going to borrow Nathans words: "Oh la la...el cazador supremo!" As I figure he means ? "The ladies are cool and beautiful!" Or close to that. :-) This is a most interesting selection in so many different ways. But my favourite for it's imagination and a unique observation with such great "imagining potential" is: The last one >>http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Miscellaneous/L1021175BNw.jpg.html >> <<< This could be the ugliest woman or the most beautiful woman in the world simply due to our wildest imagination and wanting her to be what we imagine as we look at this scene! It's absolutely great! This is what a great photographer is all about, to heck with whatever gear he or she may be using!! It's observing the moment and shooting it! I'd say 99% of the photographers on this list would think... "Dam I'm on the wrong side and try to move about to get her face! Me included. But most important? You have opened everyone's eyes to be on the look out for a similar situation..... unposed! Damn yer good! ;-) cheers, ted
