[Leica] 20 Discards

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

I, too, wanted that one, Simon - It's one of my favorites. And the
choices have nothing to do with art history, or anything else formal. I
think it all just comes down to personal taste. One thing that I thought
was interesting, was at one point I suggested we include more color
because I thought Olympus would want it, and both my kids immediately
said - as one: "Don't give them what THEY want; give them what YOU want
- it's your work." Obviously that makes no sense if you're shooting for
a client, but for something like this, they're absolutely correct.

Hi ,
 I rather like this one
http://gallery.leica-users.org/album163/Discard20
the other discards looked ( the thumbnails) like i could have made 
them(strong disqualifier)
of the 20 that they have picked i would discard a few but i presume you
had 
to have 20.
all imho of course. i finally realised  that i lack so much knowledge of
art 
history and the like that i shouldn,t comment at all. but since you
asked i 
gave my opinion anyway.
best regards
simon jessurun
