I do believe that if you could part with the upper 1/3 of the sky, you'd have a very effective horizontal composition with the lines of the foreground, then the sheep, the layer of trees, then the expanse of landscape, the horizon, and finally the sky--a series of horizontal planes and lines. I like the picture and have enjoyed so much of what you have displayed. Even the colors of your Agfa Vista have a certain soft "signature". Is that the film or are you selecting certain light or processing to get the effect?

I have to be more ruthless in selection :-). Thank you for the honest observation. - --Graham - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
