[Leica] some D2 pics

[aaron.sandler at duke.edu (Aaron Sandler)]

Some very nice family photos there, Philippe, including several which are 
transcendent.  My 2/10ths of a cent follow:

I think the first one is quite wonderful, although I wonder whether a black 
and white version might be even better as the blue umbrella would draw the 
eye less.

My favorite might be the dappled sunlight and sunglasses photo.  The busy 
lighting is offset very well by the simplicity of the two chairs and the 
direct sunglass-shaded stare of your (presumed) daughter.  The slightly 
tilted horizon doesn't bother me...it adds a subtle dynamism to the 
otherwise relatively static photo.  Wonderful.

Thanks for sharing,
