And get a less distracting right part of the background? Lower POV, too, maybe? Crop the hair at the left out? Or PS it away? I guess that what I'm trying to say is: you seem to have an eye for situations with a lot of photographic potential and that beg to be explored photographically, but very often your posting just isn't there yet. This said in my very humble opinion. So I was thinking: would it help to make more photographs of each interesting scene you discover, develope and contact print it, leave it for some time then (so you'd forget the actual moment you took them, and look with a more objective eye to the result) and then see which ones would pop out on the contact sheet? Plz consider this as a well meant suggestion, because I know that editing your own work is always difficult, and because I notice you truly like cameras, lenses and making photographs. So don't take this a an offense. Op 1-dec-05, om 17:46 heeft Richard het volgende geschreven: > OK, I am hoping that this one is a lot less controversial.
