Steve - Nice group of images....Week4 is a hoot. BUT - The photo does not
have anything to do with the Mona Lisa. I know, that's what they were
looking at. You know that. They know that. No one who looks at the photo
knows that.

Now to me, the photo stands on its own,speaks for itself, needs no
introduction. ;-) But if you wanted us to know that that was a photo of
people looking at Moana, you needed to either get a piece of Moana (cQ) in
the photo, get a "This Way To La Mona Lisa" sign in the photo, or something
similar.

All of which leads me to make a suggestion - NO MORE PAW CAPTIONS. Let's let
the photos stand on their own. Let everyone judge them for what they show,
not what the shooter thinks they show.

Any takers?

B. D.

Alt 1 & 3 would be my choices for this week. #1 might be improved with only
the two people leaving and not the smaller folks in the BG. #3 just seems to
fill the space well although it gives me an awkward feeling...maybe it's the
statue getting ready to pee on the patrons ;)

And on the captions again. Maybe it they type of captions you put on the
photos. Most have humor to them even if the photo doesn't show that same
humor. This may detract from the photos for the simple reason they don't
relate...just a thought.
