OK LUG, need some advice. Does this work or not? It has been sitting around 
since March and I can't make up my mind whether or not to post it. I came 
across 
it again tonight and thought "Why not ask for the LUG's advice?". No flames 
please, just constructive crits please.

Leica IIIf 35cm Summaron BW400CN 1/500th @ f5.6 (I think)

I like taking crowd shots from time to time (missed some great shots at the 
Stones the other week - didn't take a camera!!!!!). With tcrowds you have to 
look a bit longer than with most landscapes and see/imagine what is going on 
in 
people's minds/faces.

This is the East Stand, at Twickenham, the home of Rugby Union (look that up 
in 
Wikipedia!), in March this year for England .vs. Ireland for the Five 
Nations 
Championship. Ireland had to win to become Champions.

The crowd in the stand eas from both sides and some were even engrossed by 
the 
game. Some were getting fed up as Ireland went ahead and stayed there and 
England fell to pieces. Others not, including the (I think) Irishman in the 
middle-background who had spotted me! Plenty of drinking going on though, 
and 
real support for one side by the other.

Thanks for looking. Comments, please.
