Besides I don't think a human would add anything. I would however like to see you play with a much wider angle lens if it were available as I think a 21,15 or 12 might make for some wildly distorted photos with the letters so jammed in your face it might make it relativity storytelling. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
