In my view, there's nothing for the eye to settle on, except white expanses at peculiar angles to each other. I don't wish to be rude, but it look a little like the shots you get at a beginning of a roll of film as you're winding it on to the first frame. I think you need a focal point -- since the geometry of the picture doesn't hold it together enough. Week 1 works because of the relative geometry of the building, arch, and shadow. Week 3 lacks those elements. M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
