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

["Don Dory" <dorysrus@mindspring.com>]

Ted,
Thank you for looking.  Indeed, I was trying for an edgier look in the
color image.  I try to make the female subject just as strong as men:
imagine the portrait of an intense 20 year old male.  With that said,  I
suspect that the B&W will go on the wall if she doesn't select some of
the wider shots we took.

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
