Re: [Leica] Don's PAW 31 Focus on the eye

["Ted Bayer" <tedbayer@charter.net>]

Hi Don:

I like this one much more than the first for a couple of reasons.

Personality.  I think this one shows it in spades - the other didn't do that
for me.

Also, it bothered me a little to see the very shallow DOF in the first one -
I didn't feel comfortable with the one eye slightly out of focus - it didn't
look right, at least not to me.

Yep, both are very nice but this is the winner, IMHO.

Ted
