Okay, one more fella's set of seat-of-the-pants impressions: http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60367.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60380.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60391.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60375.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60371.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60381.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60407.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60411.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60387.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60409.html ...but it felt like a wrenching act of violence to trim them down that far, and there was a heavy reliance on quick first impressions, a kind of romantic eye, and mostly a pretty brutal tendency to winnow out pictures in which the primary subjects didn't seem to be engaging the viewer. Wow, that hurt even though I didn't take the pictures. I'd order alternates roughly as follows, kind of in groups: http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60412.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60389.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60414.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60390.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60370.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60364.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60410.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60378.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60362.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60386.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60392.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60377.html http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/image-60408.html Good luck... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
