Wonderful eye. The first lesson it has "taught" me is reflected by these images. What I would now want to do is take the beauty of both, and combine them. Get that portrait and the beauty of the scene together. Each by themselves look static. Now that is not really a argument against either image, but rather a desire on my behalf to get more into the images I make. Don't just take a scene, take a story ;-) Cheers and happy new year Alastair - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
