A great catch, well framed - like the curves > on > the sidewalks, the posture. thanks. the posture is because the woman left her coat in the car and was hurrying, all hunched up, to get into the mall and out of the cold. i'm actually a bit surprised at how well everyone seems to like this shot. i just put it up as an afterthought when it had been sitting on my desktop for several days. > And Delete 2a. It doesn't belong on the same page or in a collection > with > the other two. well, i'm not going to delete it. i want to leave all the lug pics up. but i appreciate the criticism. i think, on that shot, i'm guilty of what gary winogrand tried to avoid by waiting such long periods to print his pictures: having himself influenced by the way he felt when he shot the picture. when i shot that picture, my wife and i were walking through sears behind a big group of alternateens. that kid got in the bed, as if he were going to sleep, and then got really embarrassed when he realized i was taking his picture. it was a funny moment, and i guess that makes me like the picture for reasons no one else can see. best, brad - -- brad daly bwdaly@bigfatpipe.net http://www.bigfatpipe.net/~bwdaly http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=190241 "War, what is it good for?
