[Leica] IMG Don's PAW Week 10 Las Vegas with no glitz

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

Hoppy,
Yes, the left hand model was feeling the pain.  The right hand model was
enjoying a bit of repartee with the gent and making the most of a boring
assignment.  I could do a bit of masking to bring out a bit of green, but
the image is not that they worked for Fuji, but the facial expressions and
body language of the three actors.

Hope you get a bit of rain and avoid the vegimite.  :)
