Thanks. > Ted, I agree with Jim and you and all counts here. There is just one thing. I don't recognize all the distracting elements in my own photos yet, and therefore I don't know always when and what to crop. Before I start cropping I need to have developed at least that very basic skill. My stand has nothing to do with purism. No-crop is simply my tool to understand basic composition by learning from the feedback I receive from you guys. - -- Arne - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
