Adam mon ami,

Sorry mate you made this exposure not for picture content quality. But 
because you know who this person is with his name on his shirt, that at this 
moment has absolutely no relevance to a quality photograph.

Because there isn't anything to it but a couple of people, backs to camera. 
And truthfully if this were not whom you say he is, I doubt you'd have taken 
it in the first place and sure as heck wouldn't have posted it!

Now in reality, does this relate to a worth while photograph you'd expect 
people to get excited about & it illustrates your talent in the use of a 
camera and lens? Or is it really "Tony DeFrancesco" and whom he is that it 
made it worth while posting? Or to the rest of us as we see it, a 
meaningless exposure.

sorry some days you gotta call 'em as you see them!
