Such an eye and camera handling! Wonderful! > http://www.leica-gallery.net/barbour/image-95613.html< The people on the street with the little boy and musician is a wonderful "life moment" with all the right expressions in the right direction at exactly the right time. Everyone is re-acting to the child. You can't pose these kinds of moments, Oh I suppose one could for some advert., but the naturalness just wouldn't be up to what we see here. Damn fine picture. > http://www.leica-gallery.net/barbour/image-95614.html< This cathedral interior is wonderful simply because the camera is held correctly and the vertical lines and composition is right on the mark. Not only that but the praying folks add so much to illustrating the enormity of the church! This is a classic teaching photograph for so many to learn from.... straight vertical lines and perspective to capture what they see in reality! And not some distorted tilted queer angled building falling over. > http://www.leica-gallery.net/barbour/image-95615.html< The art of seeing and capturing the moment with excellent framing, another thing missed by many on the list, they see, but don't see the surrounding elements to make it a well framed classic photograph, but merely shoot the simple obvious one thing only. What you have here is, the flower subject nicely lit and eye catching, strongly framed making the light, composition holding it together. A photograph illustrating the "Art of Seeing!" Actually all three show exactly the same thing. "Seeing, motivated, click!" ted
