My goodness look at the intensity of the eyes of the girl in the middle. Like WOW! The moment of truth is about to be revealed. Like here comes the "very big moment of truth" from the girl on the left telling all! Even the girl on the right has all "eyes for the moment of truth!" Both pictures are wonderful moments, but when you put them up for comparison my son, you picked the wrong one the first time. :-) There is a great learning here for all. No matter how much we "think we know what's best of what we shoot" the chances are someone as an independent editor sees things with completely different eyes. Providing of course "that someone" doesn't want to offend the photographer by speaking the truth. Some of you wonder why some professionals have someone who works with them as an independent voice on the quality of the photographs from any assignment? In my case, I have Sandy Carter who with her editing comments can almost put me on the floor in tears with her hard nose truthful editing! Trust me, sometimes I want to almost choke her.... but I can't do that, simply because she's one of the best photo editors I know. She can make you think you're the king one day and rip you assunder the next, but damn she's good and 99.99999% of the time right. So that makes her almost a perfect photo editor. And when we've been on an assignment together, OH jeeeeeessssus! She's even worse, because she remembers all the ithings I should've taken and didn't, or did it poorly in her eyes. So Steve my friend the next time you have two beautiful picture moments like this... post both as the main ..... then let the gals and guys sort it out for themselves. ;-) That ,or I'll send Sandy over to Paris to twist yer tail! ;-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
