Maybe it is just me, (because I took the picture?), but I find that the lady just jumps out at you from the picture. My eyes keep going back to her strong presence. What is a distraction for me in the OOF guy about ten feet behind her with his Jimmy "Come and get me ya dirty rat" Cagney stance. Anyway, let me say it once again, my photography deliberately has "distractions". Generally one of my photos will have the main element (the lady) the secondary elements (the three men in the picture) and (the Green Party button and the George Bush picture). This all contributes to my style of "business" in a picture to make it more interesting. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
