I've never taken a photo I thought was "perfect", but that's ok as long as you remember that it's as much about the journey as the destination. I like the shot you posted...the light, the angles, the repetitions (including of the empty desks, broken as it is by the occupied one), and even the dead spaces which I find effective. A fine early attempt. Ted hit the nail on the head when he suggested ways to follow this shot by really working the scene...might lead to a better pic, might lead to worse ones, but you'll definitely learn something by trying different heights, angles, distances, etc. And that WILL lead to better pix in the long run. I don't always do what Ted suggests...but I often wish I had! :) Best, Aaron At 03:30 AM 9/5/2005, you wrote: >An image for critique.
