Thanks for looking. > > > Kim ========================================================================= Hi Kim, The "quiet" may be due to the subject line. "PAW" loses a good part of the potential viewers, "Non Leica" can lose a few more although these two limiters could be offset by the addition of "fetish", "nocti" and "partial nudity" they cannot beat the filters that auto delete PAW's. I find the photographs in this trio a mixed bag. Week 6: I am not keen on the look obtained with cross processing but I have to admire the will to experiment. The apple on the head I don't really understand, do Tell :-) Week 7: I'll be honest here, I find it difficult to give full attention to anything else in a photograph that has a naked woman in it. If the intent was to give prominence to the hands, rings and knees it would have worked better for me if they had been isolated with cropping rather than differential focus. Initially my eyeballs were in anti bokeh mode on the nudity rather than looking at the obvious focus of the picture. Week 8 : The best of the three in my opinion. A beautiful subject well posed and well shot. Sensual indeed. - --Graham - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
