Why? When I opened the main my eyes went right to the out of focus and brighter arms folded in the foreground. Therefore a distraction from an attractive face. The alternate, >http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004PAW/Wk3-Cathy-Alt.jpg< I like the direct into the camera eyes and look, not often I say that because it doesn't work in many cases, here it does. Beautiful eyes! The sidelight has a good counter balance soft fill on her left side and even though I feel it's a slightly tight crop it works because it strengthens her eyes. I trust having an attractive niece like this for a visit you made good use of her face and blew a ton of film working the light, eyes/face for every possibility. :-) Probably a half dozen rolls would be about right! ;-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
