I can see why you were attracted to the pier and the fog but there is not enough in the posted image. What would have happened if you had shot just the three signs with the fog and the birds? Or perhaps the lamp with the birds and the fog? Or perhaps there were humans around to add the dreaded human interest factor? This is an image that has real possibilities, just spent more time in the spot exploring the situation. Whatzzit? Ok, when some image attracts you sometimes you don't know quite what is attracting you so you take a general picture. Most people stop there. But if you spend time isolating details and combining elements in interesting ways using lens focal length and depth of field or its lack most of the time you will discover what attracted you to the scene and capture it. Usually. If you are lucky and it is a beautiful place it might take four or five times to capture it. :) Don Dory dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
