I would have cropped some of the background out for more focus on his face and what he is working on. Some bend of the knees [thanks, Ted!] would have also helped. > http://www.mindspring.com/~flagstad/horn/vienna/pics/g.lawson001.jpg I would have bent my knees and come around for a 3/4 shot to get more of his face. > http://www.mindspring.com/~flagstad/horn/vienna/pics/g.lawson002.jpg Unfortunate about the flare. Looks like the shot was pre-focused on the belt sander; I would have focused on his nose or glasses frame and used upper body weave to keep him focused until the snap. > http://www.mindspring.com/~flagstad/horn/vienna/pics/g.lawson004.jpg Second runner up, in my opinion. Nice bokeh and good figure/ground relationship. I may have pulled back a little to get more in the shot, as a frame of reference. /Mitch _________________________________________ Mitch Zeissler E-mail: zeissler@directvinternet.com > -----Original Message----- > Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 1:57 AM > Subject: [Leica] photographic critique requested > > I'm still trying to get the hang of people photography with > Leicas (or with anything else, but we aren't here to talk about > artillery as photographic equipment <g>).
