[Leica] Backlight HERB KANNER/LLuis

[Lluis Ripoll]

Ted, Herbert, Jayanand

Thank you very much for looking and thank you very much for your comments, I recognize Ted and Jayanand are right … I’ve missed the perfect composition here, but also I’ve made a mistake in the cropping when I was trying avoid the lamp on the right, here I’ve posted it with almost the original framing, but even so it is not perfect!

Thank you very much again, always we can learn through our mistakes!

Cheers!
Lluis

Then they would take a big  pair of scissor-shears and cut, "Your glorious photo" to ribbons! Not in private! But right in front of other photographers and everyone received a lesson on improvement and only the best will/would do!

> Your response of... "“So what!”.<<??? If I or one of the other photographers responded with that kind of "amateur retort?"  You collected your last pay cheque on the way out!

> Photography in a group as we are, little things slip by. For me in many cases to be absolutely ice cutting mean-assed all in the line of teaching/assisting/helping/encouraging / whatever? I do not say anything as I  don't want to hurt some ones feelings! Often I have sent a private note. WHY? To avoided the tirade of re-buttal's covering a week or weeks of endless chatter! Usually by those who disagree!

> But Lluis is a super talented gifted photographer! We see it daily! So when a mean-assed mother as myself can be? I'm not going to let a dear friend talented photographer as Lluis is! Get away with shooting an Amateur result photo!!" Yeah it's not bad for a guy in an amateur camera club!
