I would be very interested in the result. 1. deer running through a clearing, with their legs motion blurred. 2. Vietcong man being shot in the head by South Vietnamese man. 3. vegetable inside a tin funnel lying on it's side. 4. moon rising behind small southwestern town. 6. nude woman reclining on side inside cardboard box. 7. faces of crowd craning their necks to glimpse corpse behind camera. Some of those might not qualify as dramatic. I apologize for the off-topic nature - to my knowledge, all of them (with one possibility) were taken with cameras *other* than Leicas. I suspect folks will get most of these. - -Paul
